Changing the height of the Navigation bar iOS Swift

Question

I am trying to change the height of there navigation bar for my app. Currently the height is fixed to 44. I can change the width from Xcode but not the height.

I have no idea how to change this. Very new to iOS development.

Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

simply dragged and dropped it on my view

In that case, the simplest way is with constraints. Just give it a height constraint (along with the other constraints that position it). No code required! Here's an example:

That was achieved with no code at all. It's all done with constraints:

We are pinned to the top and sides of the superview, along with height constraint of 100.

Answer 2

Try this :

import UIKit

class YourViewController : UIViewController {

    var navBar: UINavigationBar = UINavigationBar()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.setNavBarToTheView()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
        self.title = "test test"
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    func setNavBarToTheView() {
        self.navBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)  // Here you can set you Width and Height for your navBar
        self.navBar.backgroundColor = (UIColor.blackColor())
        self.view.addSubview(navBar)
    }
}
