How to prevent autoresizing UINavigationBar on Landscape

Question

In generally, on the landscape mode, the navigation bar controlled by navigation controller automatically reduce its size smaller.

But I want to prevent that autoresizing.

First, I set the navigation bar hidden and used another navigation bar not controlled by navigation controller. So, I solved the problem. But I want to find the way to disable autoresizing the navigation bar on landscape without using another bar not controlled by navigation controller.

Answer 1

I solved this by creating a category on UINavigationBar:

@implementation UINavigationBar (customHeight)

- (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size
{
    CGSize newSize = CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width,44);
    return newSize;
}

@end

With the category created, the height now stays fixed at 44 - I don't even need to import the category anywhere.

My app uses storyboards but I'm pretty sure it would work either way.

Answer 2

This will work for iOS 8

extension UINavigationBar {
    public override func sizeThatFits(size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
        var newSize = CGSizeMake(UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width, 44)
        return newSize
    }
}
