react-native-status-bar

Development is on hold

This project is not actively supported because of this issue. (Current state of events is that the StatusBar stays in the core for now. We're not sure for how long though.)

Getting started

$ npm install @react-native-community/status-bar --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link @react-native-community/status-bar

Manual installation

iOS

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-status-bar and add RNCStatusBar.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNCStatusBar.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
4. Run your project (Cmd+R)

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

• Add import com.reactnativecommunity.statusbar.RNCStatusBarPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new RNCStatusBarPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':@react-native-community_status-bar'
   project(':@react-native-community_status-bar').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,  '../../node_modules/@react-native-community/status-bar/android')
   

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

   implementation project(':@react-native-community_status-bar')
   

Usage

import StatusBar from '@react-native-community/status-bar';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <TouchableHighlight
      style={styles.wrapper}
      onPress={() => StatusBar.setHidden(true, "slide")} // or "fade"
    >
      <View style={styles.button}>
        <Text> Hide status bar </Text>
      </View>
    </TouchableHighlight>
  )
}

Api

For cases where using a component is not ideal, there is also an imperative API exposed as static functions on the component. It is however not recommended to use the static API and the component for the same prop because any value set by the static API will get overriden by the one set by the component in the next render.

Constants

currentHeight (Android only) The height of the status bar.
