This issue recently became relevant for me because of the notch in my Pixel 3XL. I really liked android developer's solution, but I wanted to be able to get the status bar height at will, since it was specifically necessary for a full screen animation that I needed to play. The function below enabled a reliable query:
private val DEFAULT_INSET = 96
fun getInsets(view: View?): Int {
var inset = DEFAULT_INSET
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {//Safe because only P supports notches
inset = view?.rootWindowInsets?.stableInsetTop ?: DEFAULT_INSET
}
return inset
}
fun blurView(rootView: View?, a: SpacesActivity?) {
val screenBitmap = getBitmapFromView(rootView!!)
val heightDifference = getInsets(rootView)
val croppedMap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
screenBitmap, 0, heightDifference,
screenBitmap.width,
screenBitmap.height - heightDifference)
val blurredScreen = blurBitmap(croppedMap)
if (blurredScreen != null) {
val myDrawable = BitmapDrawable(a!!.resources, blurredScreen)
a.errorHudFrameLayout?.background = myDrawable
a.appBarLayout?.visibility = View.INVISIBLE
}
}
And then in the activity class:
fun blurView() {
this.runOnUiThread {
Helper.blurView(this)
}
}
You will of course want to make pass a weak reference of the activity to the static Helper class method parameter, but for the sake of brevity I refrained in this example. The blurBitmap
and errorHudFrameLayout
are omitted for the same reason, since they don't directly pertain to obtaining the height of the status bar.
