Hi, @umaulana!

Thank you for reporting the problem. I tried to reproduce the issue but deep linking doesn't seem to affect status bar. Please, double check if the logic of your app is correct. I recommend you to create a self-contained project to reproduce this issue. If you can reproduce it using this self-contained project, please, share it with us :)

Here are the files of my test case: https://gist.github.com/adrianomelo/f45c47d7cfeab604cfa2936fb8784f3c

Environment:

• Nexus 6p
• Android O
• React Native 0.49

@adrianomelo this is what I got from your code

it looks like this code is never called

   _handleOpenURL(event) {
     console.log(event)
     this.setState(() => ({url: event.url}))
   }

I tried to add console log but nothing shows up

that gif is when I pressed url1 then I pressed url2, then I press back button and press back button again. Is it correct behavior?

my environtment:

• xiomi redmi 4x

• Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)

• React Naive (0.49)

Edit:
looks like I cut that gif in wrong time. When I press back button the second time it back to first screen

[adrianomelo]

It looks like it is creating a new activity. The AndroidManifest.xml from this example had android:launchMode="singleTask" to prevent it.

I have noticed that the first screen has the correct status bar color, but when you open one of the links, the color of the status bar changes.

[umaulana]

@adrianomelo yeah I forgot about android:launchMode="singleTask", sorry my bad.
So if it is not single task, is that right behavior? I mean translucent is always be there, even if it opens new activity, shouldn't statusbar stays translucent?

[adrianomelo]

No worries, I hope that using android:launchMode="singleTask" solves the problem of your application.

I agree with you. The status bar should stay translucent. I will investigate this problem, but it might take some time. I have just started to contribute to this project on my spare time.

If you have the time to debug it, this code is a good place to start.

And it doesn't look like a critical bug, given that most of the people are probably using android:launchMode="singleTask" with deep linking.

@adrianomelo sure I will check that code and thanks for your reponses 👍
