Get iPhone Status Bar Height

Question

I need to resize some elements in relation to the height of the iPhone's Status Bar. I know that the status bar is usually 20 points high but this isn't the case when it's in tethering mode. It gets doubled to 40. What is the proper way to determine to determine it's height? I've tried [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame] but it gives me 20 x 480 in landscape which is correct but then it gives me 320 x 40 in portrait. Why isn't it giving me the opposite of that (40 x 320)?

Answer 1

Did you do it like this:

CGRect rect;

rect = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame];
NSLog(@"Statusbar frame: %1.0f, %1.0f, %1.0f, %1.0f", rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y, rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
