React Native StatusBar

React Native StatusBar is a component which is used to decorate status bar of the app. It is used by importing the StatusBar component from the react-native library. We can use multiple StatusBar at the same time.

1. <View>

3.      backgroundColor = "#b3e6ff"  
4.      barStyle = "dark-content"

React Native StatusBar Example 1

Let's create a simple StatusBar example in which we change its background color.

App.js

1. 
   import React, { Component } from 'react'  
2. import {  
3.     View,StyleSheet,AppRegistry,StatusBar  
4. } from 'react-native'  
5.   
6. export default class ActivityIndicatorDemo extends Component {  
7.     render() {  
8.         return (  
9.             <View style = {styles.container}>  
10.                 <StatusBar  
11.                     backgroundColor = "#b3e6ff"  
12.                     barStyle = "dark-content"   
13.                     hidden = {false}    
14.                     translucent = {true}  
15.                 />  
16.             </View>  
17.         )  
18.     }  
19. }  
20. const styles = StyleSheet.create({  
21.     container: {  
22.         flex: 1,  
23.     }  
24. })  
25. AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => ActivityIndicatorDemo)  

Output:

React Native StatusBar Example 2 (hiding status bar, full screen)

In this example, we hide the StatusBar by using its property hidden = true. Hiding the StatusBar makes the display as full-screen.

1. import React, { Component } from 'react'  
2. import {  
3.     View,StyleSheet,AppRegistry,StatusBar  
4. } from 'react-native'  
5.   
6. export default class ActivityIndicatorDemo extends Component {  
7.     render() {  
8.         return (  
9.             <View>  
10.                 <StatusBar backgroundColor="#b3e6ff" barStyle="light-content" />  
11.                 <View>  
12.                     <StatusBar hidden={true} />  
13.                 </View>  
14.             </View>  
15.         )  
16.     }  
17. }  
18. const styles = StyleSheet.create({  
19.     container: {  
20.         flex: 1,  
21.     }  
22. })  
23.   
24. AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => ActivityIndicatorDemo)  

Output:
