android:statusBarColor buggy? about svgomg-twa

[andreban]

There's a Chrome issue open to improve the process of changing the status bar color, without having to copy LauncherActivity here

[andreban]

Would you mind posting the question on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/trusted-web-activity/

It makes it easier for other developers with the same issue to find the solution, and for other developers to help with answers too.

Oh i did: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54659396/android-studio-change-statusbarcolor-of-webview

But it seems that not many peoples have knowledge about TWA stuff yet. Maybe to new thing? :) but i understand that this is the wrong place for questions.

Answered the question on StackOverflow. Closing the issue here.

Hi @BamiGorengo would you mind sharing a Gist of the changes you made to LauncherActivity.java - I've followed the stack question but still having issues such as:

Cannot resolve method 'showNoPackageToast(

Cannot resolve method 'promptForChromeUpdateIfNeeded

Cannot resolve method 'warmupIsRequired

launchAsTrustedWebActivity() in TrustedWebUtils cannot be applied to:
Expected Parameters:
Actual Arguments:

context:

LauncherActivity.this  
session:
android...customtabs.CustomTabsSession
intent  (android...customtabs.CustomTabsIntent)

@a-haan I will write a article about this when im back home in 3 days. meanwhile you can take a look on my article where i explain some stuff: https://link.medium.com/9vVurMuhoU

there is also a link to stack overflow where you can read all you need to do the thing with the statusBar.

@BamiGorengo Thank you, interesting read! I've got mostly everything setup except for the status color bar, so looking forward to your guide 👍

[SvenBudak]

@andreban good news! thanks for this!

Can you maybe share us also a description how to add a splash /loading screen that waits that the chrome instance is finish loaded before it fades out? I want to write an extended tutorial about this, but i have 0 idea how to start this.

[andreban]

@BamiGorengo this sample from CustomTabs helps with that. We're looking into how to make this easier using LauncherActivity too, so it may be worth waiting a bit too.

@BamiGorengo @andreban I've got a feeling the instructions you provided in the Stack question didn't work because my project was built by PWA2APK originally, I will build again from scratch and see if that works okay. I get odd issues atm that appear on my app such as a crash on startup if my default browser is Samsung or Firefox. Yet @BamiGorengo App doesn't have the same issues...

[SvenBudak]

@andreban hmmm i cant find any code snippet there that seems to do any splash screen stuff... it make not maybe more sense to use the web manifest to automate the statusBar color and Splash screen? that make for me most sense...

@BamiGorengo @andreban rebuilt now all working as expected including the toolbar colour, no more crashes as you'd expect!

I can seem to find a similar way to change the navbar colour to dark instead of light mode though, which is a shame because my PWA is in darkmode
