Modal component on Android is not underneath a translucent StatusBar, inconsistent with iOS

[calebmer]

When you set translucent to true in a StatusBar component in Android, then open a Modal component, the Modal children are not underneath the status bar like the main content. This is inconsistent to the behavior on iOS where Modal children are underneath the status bar. Therefore as a workaround you need to add a style that looks something like this to the body of a modal:

marginTop: Platform.OS === 'android' ? -StatusBar.currentHeight : 0

• Minimal code snippet: https://rnplay.org/apps/0ppHZw
• Version of React Native is 0.29.0
• The error only occurs in Android (but if it occurred in both would it be a feature and not a bug?)
• I’m developing on a Mac.

…and here is the code snippet copy/pasted from RNPlay (works on both iOS and Android):

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { AppRegistry, View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StatusBar, Modal } from 'react-native'

class SampleApp extends Component {
 state = {
 isModalOpen: false,
 }

 handleModalOpen = () => this.setState({ isModalOpen: true })
 handleModalClose = () => this.setState({ isModalOpen: false })

 render () {
 return (
 <View>
 <StatusBar
 translucent
 barStyle="light-content"
 backgroundColor="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)"
 />
 <Text>I’m underneath the status bar</Text>
 <TouchableOpacity onPress={this.handleModalOpen}>
 <Text style={{ marginTop: 50 }}>Press me to open the modal</Text>
 </TouchableOpacity>
 <Modal
 animationType="slide"
 transparent={false}
 visible={this.state.isModalOpen}
 onRequestClose={this.handleModalClose}
 >
 <View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'white' }}>
 <Text>I should be underneath the status bar</Text>
 <TouchableOpacity onPress={this.handleModalClose}>
 <Text style={{ marginTop: 50 }}>Press me to close the modal</Text>
 </TouchableOpacity>
 </View>
 </Modal>
 </View>
 )
 }
}

AppRegistry.registerComponent('SampleApp', () => SampleApp)

iOS Modal closed

iOS Modal opened

Android Modal closed

Android Modal opened (ERROR HERE)

Is this still a problem? I seem to recall @satya164 discussing some fix here but I could be mistaken.

As far as I can tell, yes this is still a problem, as I believe I am dealing with something similar.

My situation is that I have set the status bar to hidden at the root of my app, but when I am on android and display a modal the status bar becomes visible. On iOS the status bar remains invisible in this situation (the desired behavior for my application).

Furthermore, I have my app in Immersive mode, and as such the soft navigation buttons (ie back, home, multitasking) are also hidden throughout the app. When a modal is displayed the navigation keys become visible, similar to the status bar.

I can confirm this behaviour.

0.43.0 here. I can confirm that there is still a bug when using modal with translucent status bar on android

Yep, if i set my StatusBar to translucent its background just become black (my app don fit his space), and hidden it's not working (the background still green and StatusBar always visible)

It's not a direct fix for this, but I fixed the related bug that causes the translucent StatusBar to darken when the Modal is opened on android. #13629

Wathever the fix for this bug is, it'll probably apply to the two files I was looking at while fixing that issue.
ReactAndroid/src/main/res/views/modal/values/themes.xml and ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/views/modal/ReactModalHostView.java.
