iOS 8: status bar doesn't work with UIImagePickerController

Question

I've a view with UIImagePickerController..

In the whole application I have:

/* white color */
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];

But in this case I need to view status bar black, so I set it:

/* black color */ 
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];

I've do this in delegate

- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated;

But seems ignoring instruction.

Works only for iOS < 8. I've already read this question and other, but I can't make it work.

Answer 1

Just change it from your xib / storyboad if you want to change for particular view means.

Answer 2

Try like this while presenting UIImagePickerViewController:

[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:^{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
}];

Answer 3

I resolved my problem in this way:

UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

if(IS_IOS8_AND_UP) {
    imagePickerController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
} else {
    imagePickerController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
}

imagePickerController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];

And then in delegate I set the default status bar style.

Hope this help!
