You always asked yourself why you can't change the text in the iOS statusBar for debug reasons? Or custom UIViews? YourStatusBar tweaks the iOS statusBar to add custom text or views. In big projects I often have the problem to find the right UIViewController class. So I wanted to see the current class name in the statusBar. That is actually the reason why I built this library here.
- Set your text to the iOS statusBar
- Add your custom UIView to the statusBar
Please make sure that you use YourStatusBar only for DEBUG purposes. Not in production mode, because UIStatusBarWindow
is private API.
You could use YourStatusBar
to display the current class like
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[TWYourStatusBar setCustomText:NSStringFromClass([self class])];
}
Add it to your Podfile and run pod install
pod 'YourStatusBar'
And use #import <YourStatusBar/TWYourStatusBar.h>
[TWYourStatusBar setCustomText:@"My custom Text"];
UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[TWYourStatusBar setCustomView:myView];
Like always this library comes with an example project.
- UIStatusBar UIKit's private header
- UIStatusBarWindow UIKit's private header
