How to change Status Bar and App Bar color in Flutter?

I'm trying to change the color of the system status bar to black.
The configuration seems to be overridden by the AppBar class. I can achieve what I want by assigning the theme: to `ThemeData.dark()` when creating the Material App, and then specifying an `appBar attribute`. But I don't want an AppBar, and also, doing it this way changes all the font colors.

A possible solution is to inherit ThemeData.bright() into a new class, then add something that only changes the system status bar through

setSystemUIOverlayStyle

And then I would need to specify AppBar and make it invisible somehow?

layout_widgets.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

Widget titleSection = new Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(32.0),
child: new Row(children: [
new Expanded(
child: new Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: [
new Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 8.0),
child: new Text(
"Some-Website.com",
style: new TextStyle(
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
),
)
),
new Text(
'Small details',
style: new TextStyle(
color: Colors.grey[500],
)
)
],
)),
new Icon(Icons.star,color: Colors.orange[700]),
new Text('100'),
]));

If you don't want AppBar at all, then you can just call `setSystemUIOverlayStyle` in the main function:

void main() async {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.light);

runApp(new MaterialApp(
home: new Scaffold(),
));
}

It's more tricky if you have an app bar in one scaffold, and none in another. In that case I had to call `setSystemUIOverlayStyle` after pushing new route with a scaffold that does not have an appbar:

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final page = ModalRoute.of(context);
page.didPush().then((x) {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.light);
});

return new Scaffold();
}

I'm quite new to StackOverflow & I've never used Flutter however I have found [this][1] package that seems to make things relatively easy.

**Method 1: Using the package**

Once this is imported all you need to do is add this code fragment:

try {
await FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarColor(Colors.black);
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
print(e);
}

Replacing the parameter for the `setStatusBarColor()` should give you the desired result, a full list of colours can be found [here][2].

**Method 2: Using default functions**

If this doesn't work / you don't want to add extra packages or libraries then perhaps [this][3] StackOverflow answer may help.

It involves using a similar function to the above method: `getWindow().setStatusBarColor()` or `getActivity().getWindow().setStatusBarColor()`

Replacing the parameter with the desired hex code [from the same list as earlier][2] may also result in a solution.

Hope it works/helps!

i have achieved that way

@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
// Transparent status bar
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(statusBarColor: Colors.transparent,));
}

you can also see different properties after comma

SystemUiOverlayStyle(statusBarColor: Colors.transparent,)

just use combination of ctrl + space after comma and you will get what you can use.

Please read this [flutter package][1]. To set status bar text as black, you can set `FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarWhiteForeground(false)`. you need to have this line of code in `didChangeAppLifecycleState` method with **resume state** so that when you go to other application and come back, the status bar text color are set to your initial setup.

Also, you need to set the your AppBar's TextTheme. like following.

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarWhiteForeground(false);
return MaterialApp(
title:// title goes here
theme:// your theme goes here
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
title: _loadAppBarTitle(),
textTheme: Theme.of(context).textTheme),
body: //body's goes here
);
);

Hopefully, this one can help somebody who has the similar problem with me.

**TLDR;** you need to use `Scaffold`, it manages the colors even if you navigate back and forth.

Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(brightness: Brightness.dark), \\ dark content -> white app bar
body: ...
);

If your screen does not have an app bar, then you need to use `AnnotatedRegion` *with* scaffold in order to achieve the same effect.

AnnotatedRegion(
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light, // this will make the app bar white
child: Scaffold(
body:
),
);

Instead of `SystemUiOverlayStyle.light`, you can customize it:

SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.light,
systemNavigationBarDividerColor: Colors.blue,
...
);

I tried the method `SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle()`, as far as I tested (Flutter SDK v1.9.1+hotfix.2, running on iOS 12.1) it works perfect for Android. But for iOS, e.g. if your first screen `FirstScreen()` doesn't have an `AppBar`, but the second `SecondScreen()` does, then at launch the method does set the color in `FirstScreen()`. However, after navigating back to `FirstScreen()` from `SecondScreen()`, the status bar color becomes transparent.

I come up with a hacky workaround by setting an `AppBar()` with zero height, then status bar's color gets changed by the AppBar, but the AppBar itself is not visible. Hope it would be useful to someone.


```lang-dart
// FirstScreen that doesn't need an AppBar
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: PreferredSize(
preferredSize: Size.fromHeight(0),
child: AppBar( // Here we create one to set status bar color
backgroundColor: Colors.black, // Set any color of status bar you want; or it defaults to your theme's primary color
)
)
);
}

// SecondScreen that does have an AppBar
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar()
}
}
```

Here is the screenshot of `FirstScreen` in iPhone Xs Max iOS 12.1:

### UPDATE:

```
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.blue, // Navigation bar
statusBarColor: Colors.pink, // Status bar
),
),
)
```

---

### Old solution (still works)

**Both iOS and Android:**

appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.red, // status bar and navigation bar color
brightness: Brightness.light, // status bar brightness
)


----------


**Only for Android (More flexibility)**

You can use `SystemChrome` class to change Status bar and Navigation bar color.
First import

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

After this, you need to add following lines (better place to put these lines is in your `main()` method)

void main() {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.blue,
statusBarColor: Colors.pink,
));
}


----------

# Flutter 2.5.1

```'brightness' is deprecated and shouldn't be used. This property is no longer used, please use systemOverlayStyle instead. This feature was deprecated after v2.4.0-0.0.pre.. Try replacing the use of the deprecated member with the replacement.```

## Old code
```brightness: Brightness.dark,```

### New code
```
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.blue, // Navigation bar
statusBarColor: Colors.red, // Status bar
),
```

Just write this code inside the AppBar

Scaffold(
drawer: const SideBar(),
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text("SomeThing"),
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark,//this is what you wanted
),
body: YourWidget()
