Flutter – Hide the Status Bar
StatusBar is located at the top of the Application, which basically shows the notification of the phones. Sample images are given below to get an idea about what we are going to do in this article.
Before Hiding the status bar:
After Hiding the status bar:
If you see the difference between the images, In the first image status bar is shown but in the second image, status bar is filled with color or hidden.
Approach
Import the services package.
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
You can bring it back with
SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.manual, overlays: [SystemUiOverlay.bottom]);
Step By Step Implementation
Step 1: Create a New Project in Android Studio
To set up Flutter Development on Android Studio please refer to Android Studio Setup for Flutter Development, and then create a new project in Android Studio please refer to Creating a Simple Application in Flutter.
Step 2: Import the material package
Adding material package that gives us the important functions and calls the runApp method in the main function that will call our application.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(RunMyApp()); }
Step 3: Creating Stateless Widget
Now we have to make a stateful widget because our application does may change its state and then return the materialApp widget which allows us the set the title and theme and many more or you can say default values.
class RunMyApp extends StatefulWidget { const RunMyApp({super.key}); @override State<RunMyApp> createState() => _RunMyAppState(); } class _RunMyAppState extends State<RunMyApp> { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( ); } }
Step 4: Creating Scaffold Widget
Give the home property and there can be a scaffold widget that has the property of AppBar and body. AppBar allows us to give the title of AppBar, color, leading, and trailing icon.
Step 5: Create the initState method that is the main part of the project.
void initState() { // TODO: implement initState SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.manual, overlays: [SystemUiOverlay.bottom]); super.initState(); }
Final Code
Dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart' ; import 'package:flutter/services.dart' ; void main() { runApp(RunMyApp()); } class RunMyApp extends StatefulWidget { const RunMyApp({super.key}); @override State<RunMyApp> createState() => _RunMyAppState(); } class _RunMyAppState extends State<RunMyApp> { @override void initState() { // TODO: implement initState SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIMode(SystemUiMode.manual, overlays: [SystemUiOverlay.bottom]); super.initState(); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false , theme: ThemeData(primarySwatch: Colors.green), home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text( 'Hide Status Bar' ), ), ), ); } } |
