display.TranslucentStatusBar is tinted

Hey all,

So basically I am implementing material design in my corona app but cannot properly set the color behind the status bar as the status bar is actually tinted. Is there a way to have a fully transparent status bar on Android to match material design guidelines?

I’ve tested this by setting one solid color as the background and setting the status bar using display.setStatusBar(display.TranslucentStatusBar), which is fine on the simulator, but then tints when running on my android device (running Android 6.0.1) the status bar becomes tinted.

On a semi-related note, is there a way to set the status bar icons to a darker colour as done in apps such as the Google Calendar?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

This seems to be how do it in android http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29311078/android-completely-transparent-status-bar

Anyone from Corona know if this is implemented or possible to implement?

We only have the API call to change the status bar that you’re using. There is some additional status bar support here:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/native/setProperty.html

but it’s only around hiding and showing the status bar for full screen apps and using swipes to show it again.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply. Would it be worth creating a feature request for what I’ve mentioned do you think?
