Working with UINavigationViewController about cwstatusbarnotification HOT 22 CLOSED

The notification label is not seen because it is under the UINavigationBar. I can remedy this by adding the notification label to the rootViewController instead of the current view controller.

The main problem, however. once the notification label is visible is that in a UINavigationController, the UINavigationBar shrinks and moves up to the top when the status bar disappears. I've tried counteracting the movement, but it looks bad.

I will look into this further.

Thank you. I will play around with this on my end as well.

Any progress on this issue? I love your framework but this is stopping me from using it..

Unfortunately, I've been drowned in school work and haven't had time to look into this more. I posted a question on Apple Developer forums, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I also just posted on Stack Overflow for good measure.

I'll keep you updated.

I saw the following on SO, perhaps this helps?

Whatever you copy/pasted isn't showing up here on GitHub. There was only one comment so far on my SO question, and it suggested using wantsFullScreenLayout. Unfortunately, that is deprecated in iOS 7.

Hm I hope it’s solved. I believe what I copy/pasted wasn’t useful anyway after I checked your code. I’ll try on my end some further research.. I found out that the Mailbox App uses screencaptures for their animations, perhaps that’s also something to think about, for me at least..

Please add support for UINavigationController! I love your framework. Tweetbot also got it working, you can see it at the end of the video here: http://tapbots.com/software/tweetbot/

from cwstatusbarnotification.

Yeah, I have tweetbot and saw it working in there. I imagine they have a custom navigation view controller, but I want to get this done without doing that. I'm still loaded with schoolwork, unfortunately. StackOverflow and Apple Dev forums have gotten me nowhere. I might put a bounty on the SO question.

Good news all!

I was able to figure out how to do it thanks in part to this SO post.

Basically, I had to make a new UIWindow and put the notification inside that. The code is updated and should be good to go!

from cwstatusbarnotification.

Hi,

I'm sorry but I don't really like the newest implementation. It seems it only drops a new uiview on top of the statusbar while the status bar doesn't disappear anymore at all with the slick animation of the previous version. Is this really what you wanted?

from cwstatusbarnotification.

The animation I was formerly using to hide the status bar was the built-in system's method of hiding the status bar. Doing this, however, is what caused the issue with the UINavigationController - as it automatically tried to resize itself.

Personally, I actually prefer the new behavior. Especially since the notification comes down at the same time as the status bar used to go up, the status bar animation wasn't visible for very long anyhow.

I guess a potential alternative would be creating a screenshot of the status bar, and animating that while the actual status bar is covered up with yet another image. I'll look into doing that sometime in the future. I was looking into refactoring the entire project to not be a category anyway, and I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

For now, if you weren't using a navigation controller, you can always use a previous version. I apologize that the update wasn't to your liking.

from cwstatusbarnotification.

You don't have to apologize, I still think you're doing a great job! :)

I agree with the screenshot technique, it's exactly what the developers of the 'Mailbox' app have done, I think when I have time I'll also try to create a new framework like that.

Thanks!

@GraafICT I just updated the project to the refactored version I had been working on that uses an object instead of a category to display the notification. There are a wide variety of new animation options and they all animate the status bar as well. Here is a gif that samples the new options:

Awesome!!! That looks really great, I'm gonna try it out immediately! Thanks!

Hmm, my cocoapod doesn't update, it says only the old versions are available, not 2.0.0? Is the podspec not updated perhaps?

from cwstatusbarnotification.

Merge request to Specs still pending

CocoaPods/Specs#5511

They're usually faster about that.

from cwstatusbarnotification.

Ah but it says that the build failed... something about tintColor not being a property of uiwindow

Yes; travis doesn't recognize iOS7-specific APIs, thats why I nudged keithbsmiley in a comment.

Ah k, sorry, I'll wait patiently :)
Already tried it out by downloading it by the way and it works perfectly!
I added my own method to dismiss it also, I have 1 process where I would like it to stay as long as the process needs it and then dismisses it :)

It was just merged to CocoaPods, so you should be good to go.

Included in the merge was an updated version, 2.1.0, in which I added functions to manually display and dismiss the notification:

[self.notification displayNotificationWithMessage:@"Hello" completion:nil];
// wait until you need to dismiss
[self.notofication dismissNotification];

from cwstatusbarnotification.

Great! Thanks for all the awesome work!
