How to hide status bar on demand?

I have some drops downs in a view controller and when they drop down I'd like to hide the status bar. I know this is how we do it in a vc:

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return true
}

But what about from inside a function?

Add an instance variable to your view controller class var statusBarHidden = false and override prefersStatusBarHidden to return statusBarHidden.

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return statusBarHidden
}

Then any time you need to hide/show the status bar, use the following code snippet:

statusBarHidden = !statusBarHidden
setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()

I think it's UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarHidden=true but it's off the top of my head.
