I want make an apk can set status bar color for all other app. Mean I don't want other app change the status bar color. Ex: in gmail, status bar will have red color, but I want just black. Is it possible?
To be honest, what you are asking is difficult. I've only seen it done for rooted phones so you can probably go that route. Or you could look at an app such as Substratum which manages the skins of the android and it's apps, for ideas.
Start researching how to do this and ask for assistance on StackOverflow.
I am working with a team to develop a cross-platform application on mobile, and we're using Visual Studio 2015 and Xamarin.Forms v2.3.2.127.
We have already created the application icons that we need for the three different platforms (Android, iOS, UWP) and each one follows the native platform specifications.
There's only one more problem that we have faced, and I would like to know if there's any answer for my problem. Some of the devices that run Android OS forces the application icon to have a squared background, and they seem to give arbitrarily colours for the background (please check the image afterwards). We don't want to change the application icon by itself for Android so we're looking for a better way.
Is there any way in Xamarin to be able to detect that the device is adding a coloured background for the application icon so we can provide it with the icon that we want, or at least change the colour the device is going to use?
As you can see, Whatsapp, Facebook and Dropbox icons are all modified and given a squared coloured background.
Thanks in advance for any help that could be given.
Regards, Paul.
This is a custom launcher / icon pack's doing. Most likely the manufacturer's doing(LEAGOO). You may notice that "Known" apps will have a custom icon, but if you created a custom app it might look much different with a random background and perhaps an icon transformation of some sort.
It might be worth getting a stock Android device to ensure your Icon looks great on stock Android as you'll never know what different launchers(bloatware) will do to your app's icon.
If the OEM has a way to interop with it, then by all means that would be the easiest way to customize this behavior. However most launchers are included in the OEM's package/bloatware.
I am developing an app for Android and iOS in Unity3D.
The app on iOS looks like this picture from the web (The status bar is transculent and overlaps the actual app): http://www.appcoda.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Dark-Navigation-Bar-Light-Status-Bar.jpg (I can't post images yet)
But when I run the app on Android, the status bar is drawn outside the app boundries. This means that the app gets stretched and it does not look satisfying: http://oi60.tinypic.com/2i1nvb8.jpg
Is it possible to make the Android status bar overlap the Unity3D app on Android? And if so, is it then possible to make it translucent as on iOS or at least a darker matching color (as introduced in Android 5.0.0)?

Try this, it lets you decide when to display the menu and navigation bars. Also lets you color them.

I am working on an app which will be installed on tablets placed in public places like corners, shops. I want to hide the system navigation bar for restricting users from playing around in tablet. Is there any way to do this either programmatically or some other way?
I think there is already an answer to your question here: Is there a way to hide the system/navigation bar in Android ICS
I will just add that on some devices SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION does not work in that case you need to change some configurations in android itself to add the feature or maybe you can use ile's answer.
I am developing an interactive video application using AIR on Android. The application is for at-risk communities to encourage them to get common cancer screenings, and will be deployed in clinics. I am testing and eventually deploying on the ASUS TF300, a 1280x800 ICS tablet.
When I put the app in fullscreen mode through a variety of methods it looks great, except the bottom bar of buttons does not hide, and instead displays as a black bar with "stealth" dots where the buttons normally present. I need to completely hide this bar so that users will not inadvertently navigate to home or other Android views.
I am having trouble solving this problem because I am not sure - Is it possible to EVER hide this bottom bar in ICS? If so, is there a known method for achieving this in AIR?
Many thanks for any advice.
related - what is the official name for this bottom bar of buttons in ICS?
I had the same issue, where I had to hide the system bar in a digital signage app for Android sticks for TV. I used distriqt native extension called Application.
Then it was as simple as using UI_NAVIGATION_HIDE in ApplicationDisplayModes class along with FULLSCREEN in my init function.
Just so you know, it is a paid extension, but worth buying the package as you get a lot of other good stuff along with it. I wasn't sure on where to begin with building my own ANE, so I went with distinqt.
Yes, it should be possible. After a few days of beating my head against the wall, I have this working on a cheap, Chinese android stick running ICS. The gist is that you need to create an Adobe Native Extension that runs the follow lines of Java:
Window window = context.getActivity().getWindow();
window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Of course, you need about a dozen files of boilerplate to run those lines. Here's a good tutorial on building native extensions.
The name is system bar.

Unless you are using a rooted device you can't really removed them as they are user navigation controls.
