ios7 status bar overlapping issues with dojo mobile+cordova app

[Patrick Ruzand]

Due to the new iOS7 status bar design, hybrid apps may have their content partially visible.

Regarding dojo mobile, there are two use cases: 1/ ScrollableView? with Headers : in this case, the content of the header may be partially hidden by/composed with the status bar. 2/ View: then the content of the view could be partially hidden.

While Apple states that apps should be redesigned to adapt with the new status bar behavior, dojox/mobile could provide some ways to work around this to ease dev migration.

Workaround The idea is to add a 20px gap on top of the page.

If your application use a FixedSplitter? as a top-level container, add the following CSS (works only with Dojo >= 1.9.2):

body > .mblFixedSplitter:first-child {
    padding-top: 20px;
}

Otherwise, add this:

body:before {
  content: "";
  height: 20px;
  display: block;
}

A possible workaround based on css is:

body:before {
  content: "";
  height: 20pt;
  display: block;
}
