StatusBarNotification

Show messages on top of the status bar. Customizable colors, font and animation. Supports progress display and can show an activity indicator. iOS 7/8 ready. This is the swift version of ,thanks @jaydee3. Please open a Github issue, if you think anything is missing or wrong.

Installation

CocoaPods:

not support

Manually:

Drag the DBStatusBarNotification/DBStatusBarNotification folder into your project.
Add #include "StatusBarNotification.h", where you want to use it

Usage

StatusBarNotification is a singleton. You don't need to initialize it anywhere. Just use the following class methods:

Showing a notification

class func showWithStatus(status: String) -> UIView?
class func showWithStatus(status: String, timeInterval: NSTimeInterval) -> UIView?

The return value will be the notification view. You can just ignore it, but if you need further customization, this is where you can access the view.

Dismissing a notification

class func dismiss()
class func dismissAfter(delay: NSTimeInterval)

Showing progress

class func showProgress(progress: CGFloat)  // Range: 0.0 - 1.0

Showing activity

class func showActivityIndicator(show: Bool, style:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle)

Showing a notification with alternative styles

Included styles:

Use them with the following methods:

class func showWithStatus(status: String, styleName: String) -> UIView?
class func showWithStatus(status: String, timeInterval: NSTimeInterval, styleName: String) -> UIView?

To present a notification using a custom style, use the identifier you specified in addStyleNamed:prepare:. See Customization below.

Beware

@goelv / @dskyu / @graceydb informed me (see #15, #30, #49), that his app got rejected because of a status bar overlay (for violating 10.1/10.3). So don't overuse it. Although I haven't heard of any other cases.

Customization

class func setDefaultStyle(prepareBlock: PrepareStyleBlock?) 
class func addStyleNamed(identifier: String, prepareBlock:PrepareStyleBlock) -> String {

The prepareBlock gives you a copy of the default style, which can be modified as you like:

StatusBarNotification.addStyleNamed(<#identifier#>) { (style) -> StatusBarStyle in

                                                     // main properties
                                                     style!.barColor  = <#color#>
                                                     style!.textColor = <#color#>
                                                     style!.font = <#font#>

                                                     // advanced properties
                                                     style.animationType = <#type#>;
                                                     style.textShadow = <#shadow#>;
                                                     style.textVerticalPositionAdjustment = <#adjustment#>;

                                                     // progress bar
                                                     style.progressBarColor = <#color#>;
                                                     style.progressBarHeight = <#height#>;
                                                     style.progressBarPosition = <#position#>;
                                                     return style!
                                                    }
