Is the status bar the bar at the bottom or the bar at the top?

The status bar is the bar that displays the time, signal strength, carrier, battery info, etc. Looking at some of your posts around here, looks like you should invest in a good book.

Figure out what it's called and I'll give you its dimensions, then from there you can subtract that from the screen size to get the remaining space.

So what is it called? If you don't know how to call the bar in code, then you are getting way ahead of yourself.
