Hiding the Status bar in a particular view controller, in a TabbarViewController

Question

I have a TabbarViewController. In one tab, when navigating to a specific ViewController (a details image view), I want to hide the status bar. I have read this link: How to hide a status bar in iOS?

But in my case, it doesn't work, because I don't want to hide the status bar in the whole app, but just in a specific ViewController.

Is there a way to acheive hiding the scrollbar only in a certain tab?

*Edit: The ViewController I want to hide status bar is a PageViewController. Is that the problem?

I just edited your question so it's easier to understand what exactly you're asking. I hope I understood the question correctly :). — Lea Cohen, Feb 09 '15 at 12:05

    -(void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
        [super viewDidAppear:YES];
        if([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight){
        if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]){
            [self prefersStatusBarHidden];
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
        }
        else{
            // iOS 6
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
        }

    }
    else if([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown){
        if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]){
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
        }
        else{
            // iOS 6
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
        }
    }
}

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle{
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

Thank you, But it still doesn't work. And the ViewController I want to hide the status bar is a PageViewController, is that the problem? — user2951346, Feb 09 '15 at 12:15

@ Pratik Patel: I do exactly what you said, but it doesn't work... I just see the status bar style change — user2951346, Feb 09 '15 at 12:26

Try the following code :

- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES;
}
