# org.apache.cordova.statusbar

StatusBar
======

> The `StatusBar` object provides some functions to customize the iOS and Android StatusBar.


## Installation

    cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.statusbar

Preferences
-----------

#### config.xml

-  __StatusBarOverlaysWebView__ (boolean, defaults to true). On iOS 7, make the statusbar overlay or not overlay the WebView at startup.

        <preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="true" />

- __StatusBarBackgroundColor__ (color hex string, defaults to #000000). On iOS 7, set the background color of the statusbar by a hex string (#RRGGBB) at startup.

        <preference name="StatusBarBackgroundColor" value="#000000" />

- __StatusBarStyle__ (status bar style, defaults to lightcontent). On iOS 7, set the status bar style. Available options default, lightcontent, blacktranslucent, blackopaque.

        <preference name="StatusBarStyle" value="lightcontent" />

Hiding at startup
-----------

During runtime you can use the StatusBar.hide function below, but if you want the StatusBar to be hidden at app startup, you must modify your app's Info.plist file.

Add/edit these two attributes if not present. Set **"Status bar is initially hidden"** to **"YES"** and set **"View controller-based status bar appearance"** to **"NO"**. If you edit it manually without Xcode, the keys and values are:


	<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
	<true/>
	<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
	<false/>


Methods
-------
This plugin defines global `StatusBar` object.

Although in the global scope, it is not available until after the `deviceready` event.

    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    function onDeviceReady() {
        console.log(StatusBar);
    }
