Summary:The navigation drawer of most apps on android opens over the status bar, this adds an option to do so. It implements a similar API to the native DrawerLayout by adding a statusBarBackgroundColor to DrawerLayoutAndroid. Without statusBarBackgroundColor:  With statusBarBackgroundColor:  This PR depends on the changes in #6195 to add the `StatusBar.HEIGHT` constant I just want to put it out there now to see if this looks good. To test without the other PR just change `StatusBar.HEIGHT` for `25`. It is implemented by making the native status bar translucent and making its background color transparent so we can draw a view of the same height as the status bar under it as a child of the DrawerLayoutAndroid. Then we can draw a semi-transparent gray View inside the drawer view to make it Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6218 Differential Revision: D3017444 Pulled By: bestander fb-gh-sync-id: ca48a47a20a2feecae360a76f3e2c9bbe6a37700 fbshipit-source-id: ca48a47a20a2feecae360a76f3e2c9bbe6a37700
UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
