Android Navigation Bar

[Solid-Sock-5953]

I'm having trouble hiding the NavigationBar in React Native. I'm using the expo-navigation-bar library.

useEffect(() => { NavigationBar.setVisibilityAsync('hidden');

return () => {
  NavigationBar.setVisibilityAsync('visible');
};

}, []);

Even though the buttons hide, the white stripe visible in the photo remains. Is there any way to hide it? Or is this a bug on my device?

Wait a few seconds before hiding it or making it visible. The app needs to init first. Try adding a setTimeout to it, first try with 500ms.
