The
StatusBarobject provides some functions to customize the iOS and Android StatusBar.
StatusBarOverlaysWebView (boolean, defaults to true). On iOS 7, make the statusbar overlay or not overlay the WebView at startup.
<preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="true" />
StatusBarBackgroundColor (color hex string, defaults to #000000). On iOS 7, set the background color of the statusbar by a hex string (#RRGGBB) at startup.
<preference name="StatusBarBackgroundColor" value="#000000" />
During runtime you can use the StatusBar.hide function below, but if you want the StatusBar to be hidden at app startup, you must modify your app's Info.plist file.
Add/edit these two attributes if not present. Set “Status bar is initially hidden” to “YES” and set “View controller-based status bar appearance” to “NO”. If you edit it manually without Xcode, the keys and values are:
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key> <true/> <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key> <false/>
<feature name="StatusBar">
<param name="ios-package" value="CDVStatusBar" onload="true" />
</feature>
On iOS 7, make the statusbar overlay or not overlay the WebView.
StatusBar.overlaysWebView(true);
On iOS 7, set to false to make the statusbar appear like iOS 6. Set the style and background color to suit using the other functions.
StatusBar.overlaysWebView(true); StatusBar.overlaysWebView(false);
Use the default statusbar (dark text, for light backgrounds).
StatusBar.styleDefault();
Use the lightContent statusbar (light text, for dark backgrounds).
StatusBar.styleLightContent();
Use the blackTranslucent statusbar (light text, for dark backgrounds).
StatusBar.styleBlackTranslucent();
Use the blackOpaque statusbar (light text, for dark backgrounds).
StatusBar.styleBlackOpaque();
On iOS 7, when you set StatusBar.statusBarOverlaysWebView to false, you can set the background color of the statusbar by color name.
StatusBar.backgroundColorByName("red");
Supported color names are:
black, darkGray, lightGray, white, gray, red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, magenta, orange, purple, brown, clear
On iOS 7, when you set StatusBar.statusBarOverlaysWebView to false, you can set the background color of the statusbar by a hex string (#RRGGBB).
StatusBar.backgroundColorByHexString("#C0C0C0");
Hide the statusbar.
StatusBar.hide();
Shows the statusbar.
StatusBar.show();
Read this property to see if the statusbar is visible or not.
if (StatusBar.isVisible) {
// do something
}
