Status bar color changed to white in custom navigation drawer in iOS?

Question

I have created a custom navigation drawer in swift. I have used the window from app delegate & added a view on winddow. After i hide show the view on button click.

Below code to create drawer.

func setupSideMenu(){

        windowSideMenu = ((UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window)!)!
        windowSideMenu.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
        if customView == nil {
            print("custom view nil")
            // Register Swipe gesture for opening slideMenu
            let swipeRight = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.openSideMenu))
            swipeRight.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.right
            self.view.addGestureRecognizer(swipeRight)

            /// Register Drawable NIB here only for once
            customView = SideView.instanceFromNib() as! SideView
            customView.configureDrawer()
            customView.navigationController = self.navigationController
            customView.frame = CGRect(x: -customView.frame.size.width, y: -10, width: self.view.bounds.size.width - 30, height:UIScreen.main.bounds.height)
            customView.drawerDelegate = self

            /// BackView (DimView)
            backView.frame = self.view.frame
            backView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
            backView.alpha = 0.4
            backView.isHidden = true
            self.view.addSubview(backView)
            let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.closeSideMenu))
            backView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
            customView.isHidden = true
            windowSideMenu.addSubview(customView)
            windowSideMenu.makeKeyAndVisible()

        }
    }

On hide & show i change the window level UIWindowLevel.

  override func openSideMenu() {
        super.openSideMenu()
        self.windowSideMenu.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar
    }

    override func closeSideMenu() {
        super.closeSideMenu()
        self.windowSideMenu.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelNormal

    }

But when i change the windowlevel to UIWindowLevelStatusBar then the color of status bar is setting white.

Here is the screen shot for drawer

Sorry i had to change some colors as i can't show the whole design.

Answer 1

As i came to understand the problem because of sidemenu to overcome this issue we have one library very easy to customize

To set or to change root, left or right view controllers or views, call:

sideMenuController.rootViewController = rootViewController
sideMenuController.leftViewController = leftViewController
sideMenuController.rightViewController = rightViewController

sideMenuController.rootView = rootView
sideMenuController.leftView = leftView
sideMenuController.rightView = rightView

Hope this will help you

Maybe because your SideView has a white background. Try changing that in the storyboard
