Usage

import StatusBar from '@react-native-community/status-bar';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <TouchableHighlight
      style={styles.wrapper}
      onPress={() => StatusBar.setHidden(true, "slide");} // or "fade"
    >
      <View style={styles.button}>
        <Text> Hide status bar </Text>
      </View>
    </TouchableHighlight>
  )
}

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.

Constants

currentHeight (Android only) The height of the status bar.
