Dynamic Status Bar Color (iOS & Android) in Xamarin/Xamarin.Forms

[@alexlanders781]

7:07 - the point where i paused the video to find the repo because i like the copy pasta just as much as the next guy. bippity boppity your code is now my property. Thanks James!

[@JamesMontemagno]

Tehehehe

[@alexandradesypri6771]

After spending some time searching, sorry if this is mentioned in another video, but for iOS make sure to set "Status bar is initially hidden" to NO, in info.plist. Otherwise, setting "View controller-based status bar appearence" will just hide the status bar.

[@anandshindey]

Just what I was looking for. Muchas gracias James.

[@LeeM0to]

Another great useful video James 👍

[@rsrodas]

James, thanks for your videos, I like a lot. Since you are doing now many with dependencies, I would like to give a suggestion about how to work with notifications in our App in Android and iOS...

[@radamesr05]

Excellent tutorial James!!! You Rock!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@manfredrohleder1806]

As always. James, you're saving me hours.

[@JamesMontemagno]

Whoop Whoop!

[@piotrmartenka9874]

Thanks

Good, gracias, desde Cuba. James 💪🏻

[@billymartin6497]

Is there no way to have dynamic text colors on the status bar?

[@rvcits]

Good day James, can you please make vlog for making status bar transparent like in google map? Thank you and more power

[@cizzl3702]

Hi, I checked your Source Code on Github for this project. I saw you updated the SetStatusBarColor Method. But I got some problems with it? In my white-mode I cannot see the Text anymore. In dark-mode everything works totally fine. Maybe I missed something, apperciate for a little hint.

[@JamesMontemagno]

I mostly had to adjust that Task.Delay and then it was working. Fee free to comment on GitHub

[@matt-i3r6w]

Could you show how to make a gradient title and status bar ?

[@JamesMontemagno]

should be able to use the title view -> docs.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/navigation-titleview/ or renderer stackoverflow.com/questions/46809733/how-to-add-a-gradient-in-xamarin-forms-toolbar-and-uinavigationbar

[@tevolutionYT]

awesome!!

[@waltergrimm7161]

Hi James, thanx for the vid, I have one suggestion, a Video on Xam forms on how to add an Icon to the status bar, and access it. googleing "xamarin forms status bar icon" gives me no results besides changing the color of status bar.

[@JamesMontemagno]

Like for notifications?

[@robstark4062]

Hi James, how about MAUI will it work?

[@JamesMontemagno]

Should work just the same pretty much.

[@davsx6201]

Nice!!!

[@poochie8989]

Great tutorial! I do have one bug on the iOS version, when calling pushmodalasync with a new navigationpage the statusbar turns white. Is there a fix for that? Can reproduced on the github repo.

[@JamesMontemagno]

Hmmm I’ll have to take a look

[@alexanderuddfeldt477]

Hi James! Great video - great channel! By any chance, do you have material on how to open a Xamain.Forms app via a "deep link" url? Thanks /Alex

[@JamesMontemagno]

Take a look at docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/deep-linking and devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-shell-query-parameters/#deep-linking-combining-route-based-navigation-with-query-properties-can-be-extremely-powerful-when-creating-apps-that-deep-link-from-the-web-or-custom-data-schemes-for-example-in-the-application

[@imtiyazAhmad-gb7tn]

Can you please let us know if we can publish IOS app on apple store from windows system or MAC system is compulsory for publish app, please solve my doubt thanks for advance

[@JamesMontemagno]

You need to sign and bundle on a mac, this is an apple requirement.

[@faximori]

I've different problem. How to hide statusbar in the splashscreen and restore it on the frontpage.

[@JamesMontemagno]

You would want to create a unique theme for your splash page and hide it there

Hi there I'm about to learn app dev using the xamarin 101. Just a question cause so far I'm only seeing api via azure or cloud basically as the only option for logic. Might be costly for a starter like me. Is there a way to build the app with the logic built in it and only host the db(physical server) which is cheaper for a start?

[@JamesMontemagno]

You could look at azure functions which scale on demand and are cheap. Could look at azure table storage which has key based data and is cheap too. Else you can connect up to azure cosmos db which has a free tier too.

[@JamesMontemagno]

Of course you can host your database anywhere and create a web api your app can talk to. Lots of options

[@uzziautomatic3416]

@@JamesMontemagno thanks James.

How can I tint an Icon in navbar? ToolbarItems aren't tintable on Android..

[@JamesMontemagno]

I believe they all take the color of the Bar text color else maybe in the toolkit -> github.com/xamarin/XamarinCommunityToolkit/tree/main/src/CommunityToolkit/Xamarin.CommunityToolkit/Effects/IconTintColor

[@billymartin6497]

if (nav is not null) { nav.BarBackgroundColor = (Color)Application.Current.Resources["ButtonColor"]; nav.BarTextColor = (Color)Application.Current.Resources["ButtonTextColor"]; }

Muita enrolação pra pouco ensinamento 🙄💅

[@noturbeezwaxbeaulac1383]

:( window.DecorView.SystemUiVisibility is now deprecated.

[@Nahuel-223]

try this: window.InsetsController.SetSystemBarsAppearance(darkStatusBarTint ? 8 : 0, 8);
