I want the navigation bar to expand to safe area in a programmatically created UINavigationController. I'm working on a project where they create the initial view controller programmatically and setup its navigation bar in the SceneDelegate:
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
let initialViewController = initViewController()
let navigationCotnroller = UINavigationController(rootViewController: initialViewController)
navigationBarConfiguration(navigationCotnroller)
window?.rootViewController = navigationCotnroller
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
private func initViewController () -> UIViewController {
let view_controller_to_be_returned = DeviceSearchVC()
view_controller_to_be_returned.title = "Devices"
return view_controller_to_be_returned
}
private func navigationBarConfiguration (_ controller: UINavigationController) {
controller.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
controller.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
controller.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
controller.navigationBar.tintColor = .white
controller.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemBlue
}
I want the navigation bar to expand to the safe area.
I tried something like this:
extension UIViewController: UINavigationBarDelegate{
func position(for bar: UIBarPositioning) -> UIBarPosition {
return .topAttached
}
}
but that didn't work
Just add this to the end of your navigationBarConfiguration
func
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
navBarAppearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemBlue
controller.navigationBar.standardAppearance = navBarAppearance
controller.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance
} else {
controller.edgesForExtendedLayout = []
}
