How to hide Android StatusBar in Flutter

Flutter Problem Overview

How to hide the Android Status Bar in a Flutter App?

Flutter Solutions

Solution 1 - Flutter

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([]) should do what you want.

You can bring it back with SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays(SystemUiOverlay.values).

Import it using

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

Update answer (from Flutter 2.5 or latest):

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.leanBack);

Or you can use another options like:

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.manual, overlays: [
  SystemUiOverlay.bottom
]);  // to hide only bottom bar

Then when you need to re-show it (like when dispose) use this:

  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();

    SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.manual, overlays: SystemUiOverlay.values);  // to re-show bars

  }

Solution 2 - Flutter

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

1.Hide Statusbar

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode([SystemUiOverlay.bottom])

Transparant Statusbar

SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle( statusBarColor: Colors.transparent, ));

3.Show Statusbar

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays(SystemUiOverlay.values);

You need to put this code on :

1.For Single Screen

@override
  void initState() {
    // put it here
    super.initState();
  }

2.For All pages in main.dart:

 void main() {
      // put it here
      runApp(...);
  }

Solution 3 - Flutter

You can use SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([]) to hide and SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays(SystemUiOverlay.values) to bring it back again.

However, there will be slight grey area and there is not fix for this as of right now. When status bar is hidden, app bar's height remains the same.

See the github issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14432

Solution 4 - Flutter

For single page (in page file):

@override
  void initState() {
    SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays(
        [SystemUiOverlay.top, SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);
    super.dispose();
  }

For All pages (in main.dart):

void main() {
  SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);
  runApp(MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      theme: ThemeData(fontFamily: 'Poppins'),
      home: SplashScreen()));
}

Dont forget to import 'package:flutter/services.dart'

Solution 5 - Flutter

Most of these answers are outdated now that Flutter 2.5 supports various full screen modes on Android.

Now, the suggested way to hide the status bar is this:

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.immersive);

You can set the SystemUiMode to any of the following SystemUiMode enums:

immersive
immersiveSticky
leanBack
edgeToEdge

Solution 6 - Flutter

You can add the below code in your main function to hide status bar.

SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
  statusBarColor: Colors.transparent,
));

Solution 7 - Flutter

As of flutter 2.5 setEnabledSystemUIOverlays is deprecated you can dissapear the status bar via:

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.immersive);

And revert it

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.edgeToEdge);

Also you can pass a List<SystemUiOverlay>? overlays as older answers state as a second named parameter to the function as:

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.edgeToEdge,overlays: [])

In the list you can specify if you will display SystemUiOverlay.bottom, SystemUiOverlay.top or none by leaving the list empty []

This comment from Jonah Williams might be helpful in some situations as well https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/24472#issuecomment-440015464 if you don't want the status bar color be overridden by the AppBar.

Solution 9 - Flutter

To achieve this functionality you will need the flutter services API.

Example steps to implement it:

You need to import package:flutter/services.dart.
Place SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.bottom]) in the initState method of the stateful widget.
Place SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.top, SystemUiOverlay.bottom]) in the dispose method of the stateful widget to re-enable the Status bar when you navigate back from that screen for example.

Example code:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

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

    class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
          home: MyApp(),
        );
      }
    }
    
    class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
    }
    
    class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
      @override
      void initState() {
        SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);
        super.initState();
      }
      @override
      void dispose() {      
        SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.top,SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);
        super.dispose(); 
      }
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            title: Text('Sample App'),
          ),
          body: Center(
            child: Container(
              child: Text('Demo Screen.'),
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }

Things to know:

It is not a good idea to put the SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.top]) in the build method of the widget, because the build method executes every time your widget gets rebuild and that will hurt your app performance and can cause strange bugs like appearing and disappearing status bar or bottom nav.
On Android if you have some input field where you need to use the keyboard the status bar will appear again and you will need to use the other method SystemChrome.restoreSystemUIOverlays() to prevent that or set it again with SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.bottom]) more info you can find for that here https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/services/SystemChrome/setEnabledSystemUIOverlays.html
SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays() is asynchronous

Solution 10 - Flutter

First add SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([]); to your Main function.

This leaves a slight grey area as mentioned in previous answers.

I have a simple fix for that (Just a workaround, works in most cases though).

In AppBar() just add

backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
elevation: 0.0,

I hope this helps

Solution 11 - Flutter

Step1:Import below package

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

Step2: Add the following code to your class init state like below

@override
  void initState() {
    // TODO: implement initState
    super.initState();
    SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([]);

  }

Solution 12 - Flutter

i: To hide status bar: SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);

ii: Use SafeArea Widget it will make sure that your app does not take status bar area.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: SafeArea(
          child: Container(
            child: Text('Do not take status bar area on screen!'),
          ),
        );
}

Solution 13 - Flutter

 body: MyAppBody(),

CHANGE THIS TO

body: SafeArea(child: MyAppBody()),

Solution 14 - Flutter

Following has been deprecated now after v2.3.0-17.0

 SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays

To hide status bar throughout the application (not just one screen) I used following two attributes in app theme declared in

android -> app -> src -> main -> res -> values -> styles.xml

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

Now status bar is not visible from Splash screen to any screen in my app.

Solution 15 - Flutter

Some of the above is deprecated in favor of:

SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.manual,
        overlays: [SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);

What I am finding strange is that I placed this in initState of my second screen rather than in void main of the app but it is applied to all my screens nonetheless.

https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/services/SystemChrome/setEnabledSystemUIMode.html

Solution 16 - Flutter

For me SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.immersiveSticky); worked the best. With this, if you swipe up at the bottom, the status and navigation bars are displayed with a transparency, and if you touch somewhere else, they go away after a while.

With SystemUiMode.immersive, the status bars are permanently displayed if you swipe up from the bottom, and the navigation bar is opaque.

With SystemUiMode.leanBack, the navigation bar is permanently displayed if you swipe up, and it is opaque.
