Set colour of status bar for Android

tuesday

Hi,

I'm using Qt Quick Controls 2, and would like to change the colour of the status bar to follow the Material Design look. Even after calling QQuickStyle::setStyle("Material"), the colour is black, but it should be a darker shade of the action bar. I implemented this workaround, but it would still show as black momentarily at the beginning.

Is there a way to set the colour beforehand so the status bar is never black?

you can set it via the manifest/style xml file.
There are plenty of resources how to do that on the web.

I think I tried that already. You mean create a 'styles.xml' file under android/res/values right? This is the style I tried:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault">
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">#303F9F</item>
</style>

I added it as a style in the application tag of the manifest file.

You can also have a look at V-Play Apps SDK, which allows to change the tint color for the navigation- and status-bar from within QML.

E.g.:

 import VPlayApps 1.0

 App {
   // change the tint
   onInitTheme: {
      Theme.colors.tintColor = "green" 
   }

   // empty page with navigation bar
   NavigationStack {
     Page {
       title: "Dummy Page"
     }
   }
 }
