StatusBar

Component to control the app's status bar. The status bar is the zone, typically at the top of the screen, that displays the current time, Wi-Fi and cellular network information, battery level and/or other status icons.

Usage with Navigator​

It is possible to have multiple StatusBar components mounted at the same time. The props will be merged in the order the StatusBar components were mounted.

Imperative 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 overridden by the one set by the component in the next render.
