Set Image Underlay of Transparent Navigation Bar and Status Bar in Swift iOS 8

Question

I am new in iOS swift development and I am facing a problem. I want to set transparent navigation bar and make image underlay of transparent navigation bar and status bar like image below,

But after I implemented the following code,

self.navigationController!.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .Default)
self.navigationController!.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController!.navigationBar.translucent = true

The result is image still below navigation bar and status bar even though I set the navigation bar to transparent.

Answer 1

I have tried same code as you provided:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .Default)
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.translucent = true
}

And it is working fine and you can see result here:
