Swift make label overlap status bar

Question

I have this label in Swift

let top_error_rep: UILabel = {
    let lb = UILabel()
    lb.text="Password should be at least 6 charachters"
    lb.textColor = UIColor(r: 230, g: 230, b: 230)
    lb.backgroundColor = .red
    return lb;
}()

I show it only when user input is less than 6 characters. Now when I show it status bar overlaps the input, how can I prevent that?

This is how it looks like

Set label's position.

After you add the label to subViews of your view. You need to set it's position by using constraint like this:

top_error_rep.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor).isActive = true
top_error_rep.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leftAnchor).isActive = true
top_error_rep.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.rightAnchor).isActive = true
top_error_rep.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20).isActive = true

or you can use different way. Google for Auto layout programmatically swift

Make it only show when user input is less than 6 characters

How do I check when a UITextField changes?

This may helps you

EDIT

add this to your ViewController to hide the status bar

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    //Add below line.....
    UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = true
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    //It will show the status bar again after dismiss
    UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false
}

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    return true
}

I have added constraints.But i only need my label to overlap status bar — SIAJSAJ IJSAIJSAJA, Feb 17 '17 at 10:55
