Achieving iOS 7.1 UINavigationBar blur

I have another UIView under the navigation bar like this.

enter image description here

I want the slight blur of the navigation bar for that UIView too. Currently I have its alpha value reduced but it doesn't give the desired effect as you can see.

How can I get the frosty look of the navigation bar for the UIView as well? I'm on iOS 7.1.

Solution

  • Don't use a UIView - you will never achieve a consistent result with the navigation bar.

    Use a UIToolbar and place it below the navigation bar. Set the delegate of the toolbar to your view controller and implement positionForBar: to return UIBarPositionTop or UIBarPositionTopAttached. You can then add all the subviews you have in your view to the toolbar.
