react-native-edge-to-edge

• Eager init package (https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-edge-to-edge/commit/7d8dfd9d6174f5243e3b7ece883f8e8efbed5a2c)
• Remove lifecycle event listener on module invalidation (https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-edge-to-edge/commit/eac20fefed6749739cf2487e8c7659baa72d152b)

• Initial release

• Add Android Gradle plugin 8 compatibility
• Fix AndroidManifest.xml namespace deprecation warning

• Update default darkContentBarsStyle value for easier light / dark themes handling

• Use android:windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode: always on Android >= 11

• Add darkContentBarsStyle android custom style property (documentation)
• Add RNBars.init(activity: Activity, enableKeyboardHandling: Boolean = true) new static method that read the value darkContentBarsStyle property value
• Update documentation with react-native 0.73 (Kotlin) instructions

• Add windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode for Android API 27+

• Use gradle namespace conditionally in order to improve old react native version compatibility.
  ⚠️ Note that this library officially now follows the React Native releases support policy. If you have been impacted by this bug, that means you are using an unsupported react native version and should upgrade to the latest.

• Add gradle namespace for react native 0.73 compatibility

• Add Theme.EdgeToEdge for easier android setup (#22)
  This means you'll only have to edit your main styles.xml:

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"><!-- use tools -->

  <!-- make AppTheme inherit from Theme.EdgeToEdge -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.EdgeToEdge">
    <!-- … -->

    <!-- set bars initial styles: true = dark-content, false = light-content -->
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:targetApi="m">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowLightNavigationBar" tools:targetApi="o_mr1">true</item>
  </style>

</resources>

• Add a third argument to RNBars.init: enableKeyboardHandling (default true). This allow using libraries like react-native-keyboard-controller.

• New architecture support 🎉
• Drop support for react-native < 0.70

Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" compatibility (#16). Remove the need to switch to adjustPan.

• Update project and example dependencies
• Add a step in the Android documentation to mention adjustPan (fixes #15)

To fix keyboard issues, update your AndroidManifest.xml file to set android:windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan:

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    // …
    android:launchMode="singleTask"
-   android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
+   android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

• Avoid Git hooks setup on postinstall (https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bars/commit/9909581a726fe3fc5d7434c59edfabe03eef7967)

• Update project and example dependencies
• Update the Android setup documentation. It's now recommended to use onCreate instead of loadApp to init react-native-bars as soon as possible:

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate;
import com.facebook.react.ReactRootView;

+ import android.os.Bundle;
import com.zoontek.rnbars.RNBars;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

  // …

+ @Override
+ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // or super.onCreate(null) with react-native-screens
+   RNBars.init(this "dark-content"); // could be light-content
+ }

  public static class MainActivityDelegate extends ReactActivityDelegate {

    // …

-   @Override
-   protected void loadApp(String appKey) {
-     super.loadApp(appKey);
-     RNBars.init(getPlainActivity(), "dark-content"); // could be light-content
-   }
  }
}

• Update AndroidX core package to 1.8.0
• Update example project to React Native 0.69.0

• Fix local variable accessed from inner class (#8 by @chrismcleod)

• Update project and example dependencies

• Add support for React Native >= 0.68 (⚠️ Note that the new architecture isn't supported yet!)
