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.
