Status Bar Color In an Ionic Project

[Shaul_H_]

Hello, I am trying to change the status bar's color in an ionic project, and i checked the ionic forum and got an answer that if i copy this line:

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

to the config.xml file, i can change the status bar's color. since intel xdk doesn't have a regular config.xml file, and handles the plugins a bit differently, i tried to paste in inside the android.xml file, and than i tried to build the app, but for some reason, after checking it , it didn't work, plus, it deleted the line i added to the android.xml file.

I was wandering if there is any way to make it work inside intel xdk? i really want to control the status bar's color, and currently i can't even see if this solution work or not.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaul.

You can add your code to the intelxdk.config.additions.xml file you will find in your root directory. 

Let me know if it worked.

Hi Anusha, thanks for the information, but sadly i don't have any file like...  i have 4 xml files.

android, ios, crosswalk, and windows...

is there any other place i can find this file?

thanks,

Shaul.

I added a file by myself, and I can see that it added the line to the android.xml file..

but it didn't do anything.  i enabled the plugin through the intel xdk plugins... is this enough to make it work or is there any other parameter I am supposed to add?

Thanks,

Shaul.
