How to change UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to YES/NO programmatically in iOS 7?

ios7, iphone, uistatusbar

Solution

In Info.plist set 'View controller-based status bar appearance' as NO.

then,add this in your appdelegate.m class in didfinishlaunchingwithoptions method.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent animated:NO];

this works for ios 7.

Problem

My application has a dark background, but in iOS 7 the status bar became transparent. So I can't see anything there, only green battery indicator in the corner. How can I change the status bar text color to Green or Orange like it is on the home screen? I know about Set the `UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance` to `YES` in the plist In `viewDidLoad` do a `[self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];` Add the following method: ``` -(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle{ return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; } ``` How can I change `UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance` programmatically? Thanks in advance...
