Programmatically create UIToolbar with default height

Question

There are a number of questions regarding the height of UIToolbar, but I don't see one where the height is obtained dynamically. Is there a way to create a UIToolbar with the correct default height?

Answer 1

Create the toolbar with 0 height, then call sizeToFit. The toolbar will then have the default height.

UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, width, 0)];
[toolbar sizeToFit];

Swift version:

let toolbar = UIToolbar(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: 0))
toolbar.sizeToFit()

Would the behaviour be any different if initialized with a non-zero height? – Barolet

@Barolet is been a long time since I wrote this up, but my guess is that it doesn't matter. – Sjoberg

Answer 2

if you are using UINavigationController

navigationController?.isToolbarHidden = false

This will give default navigation controller toolbar with default height
