not sure this is possible, checked around but not found anything.
In IOS this is possible , below the facebook bottombarview as seen in iphone
what about android?
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 created an application with Cordova. I want to improve the UI/UX so it looks like a native application, as much as possible.
When the application loads for the 1st time, the first milliseconds (less than 1 second actually) the Status Bar (and Background) has not the color I configured with the Cordova Plugin for Status Bar, as you can see there.
This blue is something linked to my Android Version/Installation, all menus and settings have the same mandatory color. The Android Version I have currently is 7.0
After the first milliseconds, the Status Bar and the Background become the ones I actually configured.
Also, when I open the menu of recent applications, we find this same color. I'd like to set that color. Is this possible?
I want to design the Android App that will change the status bar of Android device as App opens like in iOS 7.
Can we make status bar changeable in Android?
Basically, no, the status bar in itself cannot be changed in Android by an application.
I guess that to be able to do that you'd need to make a custom ROM or maybe dive into the AOSP and find a way to do that on rooted phones.
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.
