Hide StatusBar from Window for one view

Question

I want to remove status bar from window, and add it again. My View is not in view controller's view hierarchy. It is directly added in window. Question is, while this view appear in window, I want to hide status bar from window, When I remove this view, show it again.

-(void)hideStatusBarFromWindow:(UIWindow*)window
{
    //.......
}

Note: I've searched lot, but I've found answered for only view which is added from view controller's view hierarchy. That is my view will show up independent with any of View controller. That means, I couldn't write any code in any view controller and couldn't category view controller.

I've tried this, but couldn't worked for IOS 7(only working for IOS 6)..

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

@NitinGohel please read my question fully. Then go ahead with mark as duplicate. — Mani, Apr 22 '14 at 05:26
@Mani - [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; this is working for me.. with UIImageView that stored on window. as splash screen.. — iPatel, Apr 22 '14 at 05:30
In IOS 7, It didn't work for me. In which device, you've tested. — Mani, Apr 22 '14 at 05:31
If you haven't explaination for downvoting , then why do you look at question. — Mani, Apr 22 '14 at 05:42
here in stack overflow NO any rules like that. you can't talking like that. here anybody can down-vote who fill that question not fully suitable. or you never said like dont look at question. very rude behave. — Nitin Gohel, Apr 22 '14 at 05:44
Also there is NO any rule like that. It is not rude behave, I'm just asking suggestion for downvotting. If you don't have comment for downvotting, then why do you do that? — Mani, Apr 22 '14 at 05:47

Try with following code: If you custom view is display at the time of app launch then this code is perfectly working for you other wise you need to manage code ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];) as per your requirement.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
    .
    .
    .
    return YES;
}

remove it;.

-(void) removeMycustomView
{
     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
     .
     .
     .
}

I've tried this, but doesn't worked for me. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:44
when your custom view is display? i mean at the time of app launch or ..? – iPatel Apr 22 '14 at 05:46
No. It will add to hierarchy after app launch. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:48

Did you read my question fully? I don't want hide status bar for my entire app, but just for an view which is not related with view controller. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:24

But after that setStatusBarHidden:No and setStatusBarHidden:YES will work. so you can hide or show when you needed – Sunny Shah Apr 22 '14 at 05:25
Couldn't code like this. I think, it's not correct way. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:28
there is no other way to do this. if you find the correct way then let me know. – Sunny Shah Apr 22 '14 at 05:32
Sure. I'll let you know. Otherwise, I'll give correct credit you. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:33
@Mani - this will not hide for entire app.. just try with it. – iPatel Apr 22 '14 at 06:01
if you setStatusBarHidden:YES this will hide from the entire app.if you setStatusBarHidden:NO this will show from the entire app. – Sunny Shah Apr 22 '14 at 06:09

Simply use this in your view controller.m

 -(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
  return isStatusBarHidden;
}

-(IBAction)showHideStatusBar
{
  isStatusBarHidden = (isStatusBarHidden)?NO:YES;
  [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];
}

is this not working too, I have tried before post it here and it's work for me. – Anand Suthar Apr 22 '14 at 05:48
Read my question, above is not my case. If view related with VC, I can write this code on particular VC. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:49
Now try my updated answer, here isStatusBarHidden is BOOL in view controller.h – Anand Suthar Apr 22 '14 at 05:54
`setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate` what is this? – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 05:55
Is this working or not. – Anand Suthar Apr 22 '14 at 06:00
look at here ---> https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIViewController/setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate – Anand Suthar Apr 22 '14 at 06:01
If view related with VC, I can write this code on particular VC. But view is not related with any VC. – Mani Apr 22 '14 at 06:04
