StatusBar Plugin

Last updated 3 years ago

Tested Version:

This document is based on the original Cordova docs available at .

The StatusBar object provides some functions to customize the iOS and Android StatusBar.

Plugin ID

cordova-plugin-statusbar

Adding the Plugin in Monaca

In order to use this plugin, please StatusBar plugin in Monaca Cloud IDE.

Preferences

config.xml

  • StatusBarOverlaysWebView (boolean, defaults to true). On iOS 7, make the statusbar overlay or not overlay the WebView at startup.

xml<preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="true" />
  • StatusBarBackgroundColor (color hex string, no default value). On iOS 7, set the background color of the statusbar by a hex string (#RRGGBB) at startup. If this value is not set, the background color will be transparent.

xml<preference name="StatusBarBackgroundColor" value="#000000" />
  • StatusBarStyle (status bar style, defaults to lightcontent). On iOS 7, set the status bar style. Available options default, lightcontent, blacktranslucent, blackopaque.

xml<preference name="StatusBarStyle" value="lightcontent" />
  • StatusBarDefaultScrollToTop (boolean, defaults to false). On iOS 7, allows the Cordova WebView to use default scroll-to-top behavior. Defaults to false so you can listen to the "statusTap" event (described below) and customize the behavior instead.

xml<preference name="StatusBarDefaultScrollToTop" value="false" />

Android Quirks

The Android 5+ guidelines specify using a different color for the statusbar than your main app color (unlike the uniform statusbar color of many iOS 7+ apps), so you may want to set the statusbar color at runtime instead via StatusBar.backgroundColorByHexString or StatusBar.backgroundColorByName. One way to do that would be:

if (cordova.platformId == 'android') {
    StatusBar.backgroundColorByHexString("#333");
}

Hiding at startup

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/>

Methods

This plugin defines global StatusBar object. Although in the global scope, it is not available until after the deviceready event.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(StatusBar);
}
