Android Question StatusBar Color.

[Eme Fibonacci]

Easy way to change the color of StaturBar?

Maybe java in line?

how use this in b4a?

public abstract void setStatusBarColor (int color)

Thank you.

This code is almost like this

Public Sub setStatusBarColor (color As Int)

it does nothing by itself .
If you find a library or java code that does change statusbar color we will try to help you convert it to B4A

Here:

Sub SetStatusBarColor(clr As Int)
   Dim p As Phone
   If p.SdkVersion >= 21 Then
     Dim jo As JavaObject
     jo.InitializeContext
     Dim window As JavaObject = jo.RunMethodJO("getWindow", Null)
     window.RunMethod("addFlags", Array (0x80000000))
     window.RunMethod("clearFlags", Array (0x04000000))
     window.RunMethod("setStatusBarColor", Array(clr))
   End If
End Sub

   Dim p As Phone
   If p.SdkVersion >= 21 Then
     Dim jo As JavaObject
     jo.InitializeContext
     Dim window As JavaObject = jo.RunMethodJO("getWindow", Null)
     window.RunMethod("addFlags", Array (0x80000000))
     window.RunMethod("clearFlags", Array (0x04000000))
     window.RunMethod("setStatusBarColor", Array(clr))
   End If
End Sub

Perfect!!

And it works with " Theme.Holo " too!

Thank you.

I have tested it with:

Sub Activity_Click
   SetStatusBarColor(Rnd(0xFF000000, 0))
End Sub

It changes the color every time.

   If p.SdkVersion >= 21 Then
     Dim jo As JavaObject
     jo.InitializeContext
     Dim window As JavaObject = jo.RunMethodJO("getWindow", Null)
     window.RunMethod("addFlags", Array (0x80000000))
     window.RunMethod("clearFlags", Array (0x04000000))
     window.RunMethod("setStatusBarColor", Array(clr))
   End If
End Sub

If I set the "clr" = White, how do I set the TextColor of the statusbar to Black?
Because setting it to white, sets the text to white as well. Therefore you can't read anything on the StatusBar.

Thanx,

It can be done. Google Gmail does it when you touch the Search panel, that panel animates and changes the status bar color to gray and the text to black. Actually, the text color is already black. Then you press the left pointing arrow, it animates back again, and the status bar color changes to white (with the text color black).
