Can't hide iOS NavBar in v0.10

[Ian]

Hi. In previous versions of Nativescript, I was able to hide the iOS navigation bar using the following code in the pageLoaded event:

  if (frames.topmost().ios) {
      frames.topmost().ios.showNavigationBar = false;
  }

This no longer seems to work in v0.10. I also tried the method suggested by Burke Holland in his Customize the iOS Navigation Bar / Status Bar with NativeScript article and that doesn't seem to work either.

Is there a different way to hide the navbar in v0.10 or is it now always displayed?

Regards, Ian

Hi Ian,

We have added a new property on the ios instance "navBarVisibility" so it should be:

var enums = require("ui/enums");

//...
if (frames.topmost().ios) {
       frames.topmost().ios.navBarVisibility = enums.NavigationBarVisibility.never;
}

The default value is auto which means that navigationBar is visible once you navigate to a page or if you have MenuItems set in the optionsMenu property.

Hi Hristo,

That works fine - thanks for the quick reply. I noticed that the new method seems to act as a 'global' option and only needs to be used once in the initial (main) module and it then applies throughout the entire application which is good.

Best regards, Ian
