Status bar for React Native Android

A react native android module to control the android statusbar.

Setup

There are five steps in the setup process

1. install module
2. update android/settings.gradle
3. update android/app/build.gradle
4. Register module in MainActivity.java or MainApplication.java (depending on your RN version)
5. Rebuild and restart package manager

• install module

 npm i --save react-native-android-statusbar

• android/settings.gradle

...
include ':react-native-android-statusbar'
project(':react-native-android-statusbar').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-android-statusbar')

• android/app/build.gradle

...
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-android-statusbar')
}

• register module on React Native >= 0.30 (in MainApplication.java)

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

import me.neo.react.StatusBarPackage; // <--- import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

    [...]

    private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
    
     @Override
     protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
         return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
     }

     @Override
     protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
       return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
         new MainReactPackage(),
         new StatusBarPackage() // <------- add package
       );
     }
    }
}

• register module on React Native >= 0.19 and RN < 0.30 (in MainActivity.java)

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

import me.neo.react.StatusBarPackage; // <--- import

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

    /**
     * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript.
     * This is used to schedule rendering of the component.
     */
    @Override
    protected String getMainComponentName() {
        return "TonyAppReact";
    }

    /**
     * Returns whether dev mode should be enabled.
     * This enables e.g. the dev menu.
     */
    @Override
    protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
        return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }

   /**
   * A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views
   * or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here.
   */
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        new MainReactPackage(),
        new StatusBarPackage(this) // <------- add package, the 'this' is super important
      );
    }
}

• register module on React Native < 0.19 (in MainActivity.java)

import me.neo.react.StatusBarPackage;  // <--- import

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {

  ......
  private static Activity mActivity = null;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);

    mActivity = this;
    mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
      .setApplication(getApplication())
      .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
      .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
      .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
      .addPackage(new StatusBarPackage(this))      // <------- add package, the 'this' is super important
      .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
      .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
      .build();

    mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "ExampleRN", null);

    setContentView(mReactRootView);
  }

  ......

}

• Run react-native run-android from your project root directory
