iphone - iOS SDK - How to get the status bar back when using UIImagePickerController?

Question

As soon as I add a UIImagePickerController sub view to my view the status bar disappears and I can't get it back. Is there any way to keep the status bar visible?

UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;


[self.view addSubview:imagePicker.view];

[imagePicker viewWillAppear:YES];
[imagePicker viewDidAppear:YES];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:NO];

I had to do the same thing in a camera app as well. Apparently, in addition to setting the status bar to not be hidden, you also have to reset its style after the camera view makes it disappear. Try this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:NO];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent animated:YES];
