CSStatusBarNotification is a category on UIViewController that allows you to easily create text-based notifications that appear on the status bar.
CWStatsBarNotification uses ARC and requires iOS 6.0+.
Works for iPhone and iPad.
pod 'CWStatusBarNotification', '~> 1.0.2'
Copy the folder CWStatusBarNotification to your project.
Use the following import statement in the View Controller you wish to use this with:
#import "UIViewController+CWStatusBarNotification.h"
Now, to trigger a notification:
NSString *notificationText = @"This is a test notification";
CGFloat duration = 1.0f;
[self showStatusBarNotification:notificationText forDuration:duration];
The category adds a new property to UIViewController called statusBarNotificationLabel. Here is an example usage:
self.statusBarNotificationLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.statusBarNotificationLabel.backgroundColor = self.view.tintColor;
Queueing is not yet implemented. As such, if you trigger a notification while a notification is already showing, nothing will happen. You can check whether the notification is showing with the Boolean property self.statusBarNotificationIsShowing in UIViewController.
Screen orientation changing is fully supported.
