Show status bar

[zx6150]

Hello. I’m using some plugins for showing status bar on Android & iOS. But, when I open the browser it switches to full screen. And when I close it switches back to non full screen mode. As I understood you using custom activity in your plugin.

Can you help me? How can I change status bar visible? At least for Android.

If it’s not so easy then give me a clue and I will try to found out.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, I haven’t found the solution yet. Maybe someone could help?

I don’t know what are you trying achieve exactly. What’s the issue? You want to hide status bar in browser?

My app works in non-fullscreen mode (you can see time at the upper side). But when I open browser it change to fullscreen. How can I fix that?

Oh I see. Plugins hides status bar apparently. Probably it requires some tweak but that would take time. Is this something you could modify by yourself if I give you access to code?

Btw… why are you using Unity for such app?

[zx6150]

I can try to fix it. At least for Android (I haven’t test for iOS yet).

Why Unity? Because I’m a Unity developer and I haven’t experience in Android/iOS native development. (once I changed a bit Unity Android plugin for my purpose. Probably, I will do it again) ) And I’m doing this app for my client, which need iOS & Android app.

Hi!
Try to use this:

AndroidStatusBar.cs and AppStatusBar.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

// Enums
public enum States

Unknown,

private const int VIEW_SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN = 4; // Added in API 16 (Android 4.1.x): Hides status bar. Does nothing in Unity (already hidden if “status bar hidden” is checked)

Attach AppStatusBar.cs to a gameObject, and set the Taskbar visibility.
Try it.

I tried the method Unicoe showed but still did not see the status bar.
Are there any other steps needed?

The Unity version is 2017.2.10f1.
The Android version is 7.2.1.
