querying for StatusBar

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

The statusBar can be set with setStatusBar, is there a function to query the StatusBar, which type and is it visible or not?

Here is how (pick one);

settings =  
{  
 iphone =  
 {  
 plist =  
 {  
 UIStatusBarStyle = "UIStatusBarStyleDefault",  
 UIStatusBarStyle = "UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent",  
 UIStatusBarStyle = "UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque"  
 },  
 },  
  
}

if it is the style you want to set. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 10129 reply_id: 36951[/import]

@lano78,
that does not let me know dynamically if the statusBar is set or not.

If I allow the user to set or hide the statusBar, I would like to know what is the case. Is it hidden or shown and how many pixels it is consuming.

Thanks but no thanks…

When you allow the user to set whether the statusBar is visible or not, set your own global variable and then just poll that. [import]uid: 14598 topic_id: 10129 reply_id: 37262[/import]

@alanfalcon,
that can be true but what if the statusBar was changed from another module. So if Ansca can provide a function to get the status then it will be easier.

The cases where there is an issue are

  1. On an iPhone and iPad the statusBar takes 20 pixels, where as on the iPhone4, the size is not 20 pixels
  2. Since on the Android there is no statusBar, this requires some working.

cheers,
