Iphone programming: remove bar

Question

I'm not sure what it is called, but there is a bar at the top of the iphone screen with the time and battery. What is the simplest way to remove it?

Answer 1

In your Info.plist file, set UIStatusBarHidden to true. Also, you might have to add this in your app delegate:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];

As a reminder, you might have to change the height in your NIB file since the bar is hidden. It might not change it automatically.

Answer 2

Go to your applicationDidFinishLaunching: in you app delegate and write this code..

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
