How to find height of status bar in Android through React Native?

Question

How can I find the height of the status bar on Android through React Native?

If I check the React.Dimensions height the value seems to include the status bar height too but I'm trying to find the height of the layout without the status bar.

Answer 1

You don't need any plugins for this (anymore), just use StatusBar.currentHeight:

import {StatusBar} from 'react-native'; console.log('statusBarHeight: ', StatusBar.currentHeight); 

EDIT: Apparently this does seem to work on Android always, but on iOS, initially undefined is indeed returned :(
