Different status bar configuration based on route

If you don't have a navigation header, or your navigation header changes color based on the route, you'll want to ensure that the correct color is used for the content.

Stack​

This is a simple task when using a stack. You can render the StatusBar component, which is exposed by React Native, and set your config.

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StatusBar, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import {
  createStaticNavigation,
  useNavigation,
} from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
import { Button } from '@react-navigation/elements';
import { useSafeAreaInsets } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

function Screen1() {
  const navigation = useNavigation();
  const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();

  return (
    <View
      style={[
        styles.container,
        {
          backgroundColor: '#6a51ae',
          paddingTop: insets.top,
          paddingBottom: insets.bottom,
          paddingLeft: insets.left,
          paddingRight: insets.right,
        },
      ]}
    >
      <StatusBar barStyle="light-content" backgroundColor="#6a51ae" />
      <Text style={{ color: '#fff' }}>Light Screen</Text>
      <Button onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Screen2')}>
        Next screen
      </Button>
    </View>
  );
}

function Screen2() {
  const navigation = useNavigation();
  const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();

  return (
    <View
      style={[
        styles.container,
        {
          backgroundColor: '#ecf0f1',
          paddingTop: insets.top,
          paddingBottom: insets.bottom,
          paddingLeft: insets.left,
          paddingRight: insets.right,
        },
      ]}
    >
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" backgroundColor="#ecf0f1" />
      <Text>Dark Screen</Text>
      <Button onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Screen1')}>
        Next screen
      </Button>
    </View>
  );
}

const RootStack = createNativeStackNavigator({
  screenOptions: {
    headerShown: false,
  },
  screens: {
    Screen1: Screen1,
    Screen2: Screen2,
  },
});

const Navigation = createStaticNavigation(RootStack);

export default function App() {
  return <Navigation />;
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: { flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' },
});
