Navigationbar background image not fill navigationbar Objective-C

Question

I need to add background image to navigationbar, I done the code but it shows below the status bar.How to display the image fully on navigationbar.(iOS 8).

What actually I need to achieve is like the image below

The code I used for navigationbar background image is

UIImage *navBarBackgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"NavigationBarImg"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navBarBackgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;

Answer 1

Make UINavigationBar transparent

[self.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]
                     forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationBar.shadowImage = [UIImage new];
self.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
