How to get an opaque UINavigationBar on iOS 7

Question

Is there any way to make the UINavigationBar, targeted for iOS 7, a solid color with no translucency? I have tried setting the backgroundColor, the barTintColor, opaque, transparent/translucent, etc... and nothing works.

Anyone know how to do this?

Here are some chunks of code I have been using. Notice the properties I have set on the navigationBar. None of them, in any order or combination have worked.

@property (strong, nonatomic) UITabBarController *tabBarController;  testViewController = [[TestViewController alloc] init]; anotherViewController = [[AnotherViewController alloc] init]; navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]                             initWithRootViewController:testViewController];  navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor; navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES; navigationController.navigationBar.opaque = YES;  NSArray *tabBarViewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:                                       navigationController,                                       anotherViewController, nil]; self.tabBarController.viewControllers = tabBarViewControllers; 

Answer 1

Your code lists navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;

Set it to NO.

Answer 2

To make it totally opaque u can just change the style of the navigation bar from the property section itself!

This is how it looks like when u make it black
