How to change status bar color in Flutter?

Question

I am trying to change the status bar color to white. I found this pub on flutter. I tried to use the example code on my dart files.

Answer 1

Works totally fine in my app

import 'package:flutter_statusbarcolor/flutter_statusbarcolor.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarColor(Colors.white);
    return MaterialApp(
      title: app_title,
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: HomePage(title: home_title),
    );
  }
}

UPD: Another solution

SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
  statusBarColor: Colors.white
));

Answer 2

You can use SystemChrome class to change Status bar and Navigation bar color. First import

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

After this, you need to add following lines (better place to put these lines is in your main() method)

void main() {
  SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
    systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.blue, // navigation bar color
    statusBarColor: Colors.pink, // status bar color
  ));
}

I can't comment directly in the thread since I don't have the requisite reputation yet, but the author asked the following:

the only issue is that the background is white but the clock, wireless and other text and icons are also in white .. I am not sure why!!

For anyone else who comes to this thread, here's what worked for me. The text color of the status bar is decided by the Brightness constant in flutter/material.dart. To change this, adjust the SystemChrome solution like so to configure the text:

    SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
      statusBarColor: Colors.red,
      statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark,
    ));

Your possible values for Brightness are Brightness.dark and Brightness.light.

you can also customize by using this lib eazy and short flutter_statusbarcolor 0.2.0

Answer 5

try this:

return MaterialApp(
    ...
    theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.deepPurple
    ),
    ...
);

Answer 6

on the main.dart file import service like follow

  import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

and inside build method just add this line before return

SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
    statusBarColor: Colors.orange
)); 

Like this:

@override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
       statusBarColor: CustomColors.appbarcolor
    ));
    return MaterialApp(
    home: MySplash(),
    theme: ThemeData(
      brightness: Brightness.light,
      primaryColor: CustomColors.appbarcolor,
    ),
  );
 }

Answer 7

to Make it Like your App Bar Color

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
      statusBarColor: Colors.transparent,
      systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.transparent,
  ));
 }

What you want is Themes. They're important for a lot more than the AppBar color.
