Xamarin.Forms – Change StatusBar Color

by

I believe you would be better off writing a little bit of platform-specific code:

For Android:

On your MainActivity.cs on the Droid project, right after

LoadApplication(new App());

of the overriden OnCreate method, add:

Window.SetStatusBarColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Argb(255, 0, 0, 0));

Like so:

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
        {
            TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
            ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

            base.OnCreate(bundle);

            global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle);            
            LoadApplication(new App());
            Window.SetStatusBarColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Argb(255, 0, 0, 0)); //here
        }
