UIWebView in full screen hides status bar

Question

I am opening video in UIWebView with following code.

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSLog(@"Navigatin Type %d %@",navigationType, request);
    if (navigationType == 0) {
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backBarBtn;
        [self showVideoInWebView:[request.URL absoluteString]];
        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}

-(void)showVideoInWebView:(NSString *)urlStr
{
    [mainWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]]];
}

but when my mainWebView opens in full screen it hides my status bar.

I don't want to hide status bar

then how can I show my status bar?

Answer 1

You Can set Notification For making Status bar Visible. Set The Notification for FullScreen Entry And Exit Notification ,SO that you could SHow And Hide The Status bar As Needed.

// For FullSCreen Entry 

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(videoFullScreen:) name:@"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidEnterFullscreenNotification" object:nil];

// For FullSCreen Exit
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(videoExitFullScreen:) name:@"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidExitFullscreenNotification" object:nil];


- (void)videoFullScreen:(id)sender
   {
     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:NO];

   }

- (void)videoExitFullScreen:(id)sender
 {
  //Here do WHat You want
 }

I am Sure It'll be helpful to you.

Answer 2

that is the behaviour of the built-in movie player AFAIK you cant change it ... maybe with an alternative HTML5 control.

Answer 3

when your UIWebView begin Fullscreen at that time write this line..

just try with this line..

-(void)moviePlayerEvent:(NSNotification*)aNotification{

     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:NO];
     NSLog(@"%i", [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden);

}

Another Way:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self                                             
selector:@selector(VideoFullScreenExit:) name:UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification object:self.view.window];

- (void)VideoFullScreenExit:(id)sender {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
}
