Android app preview status bar issue

[Boris_B_1]

Hello,

I'm developing an application and have some problems with status bar on my device. Status bar appears when I tap input field in my app to put some text in it. Is it possible to disable appearance of status bar when I focus on some input fields in my app? I want to disable it because status bar blocks significant part of top nav menu of my app by itself. Or I want to get an actual height of the status bar to increase top margin of a body. Or may be there is a way to make a body of an app responsive?

I added one line of code that hides status bar and it works only in the emulator but not in the app preview.

$('.header-search-box-input input').focus();
intel.xdk.device.hideStatusBar();

Could somebody help me please? :)

Do not use those intel.xdk plugins, they have all been deprecated and most have been retired. There are equivalent plugins for most in the Cordova plugin universe.
