I've made an npm package to control the StatusBar in android
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-android-statusbar
The color changes do not reflect for versions before 21
You can use React Native Status Bar(detailed description here). All you need to do is wrapping navigator with a view and adding a StatusBar component above it. Don't forget to import StatusBar from 'react-native' package.
<View>
<StatusBar
backgroundColor="blue"
barStyle="light-content"
/>
<Navigator
initialRoute={{statusBarHidden: true}}
renderScene={(route, navigator) =>
<View>
<StatusBar hidden={route.statusBarHidden} />
...
</View>
}
/>
</View>
One thing I've noticed is that you should style the parent View with flex:1, without it you'll just see a white blank screen. It's not mentioned in RN Documents though.
Yes you can:
import {StatusBar} from 'react-native';
componentDidMount() {
StatusBar.setBarStyle( 'light-content',true)
StatusBar.setBackgroundColor("#0996AE")
}
You can use react-native
in-build StatusBar
function
import {StatusBar} from 'react-native';
render() {
return <View>
<StatusBar
backgroundColor="#264d9b"
barStyle="light-content"
/>
... //Your code
</View>

Add this code on your header component
androidStatusBarColor="#34495e"
There is no way currently to do that from JS. You can customize it by using a custom theme. Check out android/src/main/res/values/styles.xml
file from your project (template is here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/local-cli/generator-android/templates/src/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml) and read more here: https://developer.android.com/training/material/theme.html
There is no exposed API for now. This will work only from Android 5.0. Working on a bridge module to achieve the same. Will keep you posted
If you are using Expo for React Native then here is the solution for setting Android Status Bar Color.
First of all, In your app.json file add the code:
{
"expo": {
"sdkVersion": "Your given Version",
"androidStatusBar": {
"backgroundColor": "#4e2ba1" (Your desirable android Status Bar Color before the app loads)
}
}
}
And then Go to Your Main Component or App.js, import 'StatusBar' from 'react-native'. Then add Following Code in return:
return(
<View style={{flex: 1}}> (Do not forget to style flex as 1)
<StatusBar translucent backgroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.2)"/>
<Your Code>
</View>
);
Here, we are setting the status bar color as Black but with 0.2 opacity. Your statusBar Color will be the same as your headerStyle background Color for Stack Navigator but a bit darker. For standard Android App, this is how the StatusBar color is set. Also, Make it translucent so that your app draws under the status Bar and looks nice.
It hope this works perfectly for you.
Just add the following code to your App.js file inside your class component.
componentDidMount(){
StatusBar.setBarStyle( 'light-content',true)
StatusBar.setBackgroundColor("Your color Hex-code here")
}
And add this to your import statements.
import {StatusBar} from 'react-native';
add color.xml in ..android/app/src/main/res/values and pate following code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- color for the app bar and other primary UI elements -->
<color name="colorPrimary">#3F51B5</color>
<!-- a darker variant of the primary color, used for
the status bar (on Android 5.0+) and contextual app bars -->
<color name="colorPrimaryDark">#A52D53</color>
<!-- a secondary color for controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
<color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>
</resources>
copy and pate following code in ..android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
If you guys are using expo then just add this in the app.json
"androidStatusBar": {
"backgroundColor": "#ffffff",
"barStyle":"dark-content"
}
