StatusBar #

Component to control the app status bar.

Usage with Navigator #

It is possible to have multiple StatusBar components mounted at the same time. The props will be merged in the order the StatusBar components were mounted. One use case is to specify status bar styles per route using Navigator.

 <View>
   <StatusBar
     backgroundColor="blue"
     barStyle="light-content"
   />
   <Navigator
     initialRoute={{statusBarHidden: true}}
     renderScene={(route, navigator) =>
       <View>
         <StatusBar hidden={route.statusBarHidden} />
         ...
       </View>
     }
   />
 </View>

Imperative 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.

Props #

animated bool #

If the transition between status bar property changes should be animated. Supported for backgroundColor, barStyle and hidden.

hidden bool #

If the status bar is hidden.

androidbackgroundColor color #

The background color of the status bar.

androidtranslucent bool #

If the status bar is translucent. When translucent is set to true, the app will draw under the status bar. This is useful when using a semi transparent status bar color.

iosbarStyle enum('default', 'light-content', 'dark-content') #

Sets the color of the status bar text.

iosnetworkActivityIndicatorVisible bool #

If the network activity indicator should be visible.

iosshowHideTransition enum('fade', 'slide') #

The transition effect when showing and hiding the status bar using the hidden prop. Defaults to 'fade'.
