How to show status bar on top of custom camera overlay ?

Question

Hi friends, I have this critical issue with showing top statusbar on the custom camera overlay which seems impossible for me at the moment. I posted the same question to Apple dev forum but did not get any response for some time now. In my application, I have a custom overlay view set as the overlay to the UIImagePickerController. At the bottom of the custom overlay view (this is a UIViewController), I have put a toolbar that enables user to click on toolbar items. Since the top statusbar is not shown when the camera opens up, the whole screen get pushed upwards and makes a narrow white color gap between the bottom of the screen and the bottom tool bar.

I am not aware of how to resolve this issue, but I think if we can show the top status bar on the top of the camera then this will be automatically get resolved. Thanks for any answers.

Answer 1

Had a similar problem a while back and all I did was resize my view. Why not try that and see if it works.

If that doesn't work then showing the status bar should be

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];

Thanks for the tip domino, I found how it should be done from this thread and resize the main uiview to 320x480 instead of default 320x460. Hope this will help someone else. Thanks.
