# StatusBar

##Description

A utility class for displaying status updates in the iOS status bar. Inspired by Mailbox and designed to function similar to SVProgressHUD.

## Installation

Add StatusBar to your Gemfile, and run `bundle install`:
```ruby

gem 'status_bar'
```

If you're making an iOS 7 app, this is a good idea as well:

```ruby

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  # Setting the statusbarstyle to a light style in all the viewcontrollers
  app.info_plist['UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance'] = false
  app.info_plist['UIStatusBarStyle'] = "UIStatusBarStyleDefault"
end
```
## Usage

``` ruby

# Initilize the status bar
statusbar = StatusBar::Base.new

# Show a notice... and hide it
statusbar.show_notice("Hello World")
statusbar.hide_notice

# Show notice with an indicator
statusbar.show_activity_notice("Somethings is happening")
statusbar.show_success_notice("Great success")
statusbar.show_error_notice("Awww... did't work out")

# Check if the status bar is currently visible
statusbar.visible?
```

## Demo Project

There's a demo project in this gem. Clone it and play around with it.
