In NativeScript, encountering issues with the status bar covering the modal can be frustrating. This Status Bar overlay issue typically occurs due to specific attributes in your styles.xml file. Here’s a quick guide on how to prevent this from happening:
To resolve this issue, you need to remove the android:windowTranslucentStatus attribute from your styles.xml file. This attribute, when set to true, makes the status bar translucent and can cause it to overlay on top of your modals.
Follow these steps:
- Navigate to
App_resources/Android/src/main/res/values/styles.xml. - Look for the line: xml true
- Remove this line from the file.
Additionally, ensure that this attribute is not present in any other style files, such as values21/styles.xml. To do this:
- Navigate to
App_resources/Android/src/main/res/values21/styles.xml. - Check if the
android:windowTranslucentStatusattribute is present. - If found, remove it.
By removing this attribute, you ensure that the status bar does not cover your modal dialogs, providing a better user experience in your NativeScript application.
