I've worked on one app where hiding the status bar for a particular screen was a requirement. It was a book reader and they wanted all the available screen real estate for the book content on the reading screen. We managed to do it, but it wasn't a generic solution. And the origin of subsequent views sometimes get offset by 20 pixels. So I would strongly recommend that you either show the status bar at all times, or hide it from the start using the Info.plist setting. @Jackie: Hiding and showing the status bar inside your app is tricky, and you should have a really good UI reason for doing this.

I used an example on apple official site called AddMusic in my iphone app. Actually i used MPMediaPicker to choose songs playing at background, and i wrote this [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated: YES]; After choosing" done", i wrote [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated: YES]; But the tatusBar just appeared black, it still occupied some space. I want to remove it from my view which is not inherited from UIView or UIViewController. Could you please help me with this? I think this because the view of statusBar was still there but i have no idea how to get it and remove. Thanks for your help. Hi Nick,
I have a question about this. I used an example on apple official site called AddMusic in my iphone app. Actually i used MPMediaPicker to choose songs playing at background, and
i wrote this
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated: YES];

After choosing” done”, i wrote
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated: YES];

But the tatusBar just appeared black, it still occupied some space. I want to remove it from my view which is not inherited from UIView or UIViewController. Could you please help me with this? I think this because the view of statusBar was still there but i have no idea how to get it and remove. Thanks for your help.

But since apps typically have a zoom-in animation when they launch, it doesn't seem like a fade animation on the status bar is necessary. @mabedan: To set the style of the status bar in code with animation use: – (void)setStatusBarStyle:(UIStatusBarStyle)statusBarStyle animated:(BOOL)animated

There is no equivalent for the Info.plist setting. But since apps typically have a zoom-in animation when they launch, it doesn’t seem like a fade animation on the status bar is necessary.
