[System UI Controller] Request - Provide current statusBarColor, navigationBarColor

[miduch]

Description It would be useful if SystemUiController could be used to get current values statusBarColor, navigationBarColor. One usecase would be user moving from some main screen which has already set e.g. statusBarColor to a different screen which wants to set a different statusBar color and have possibility of reverting back to orig value

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

I thought it was a bug that when navigating back the original color is not retained

I used this kind of solution by using DisposableEffect to toggle the original statusBarColor back when Lifecycle goes to STOP state

 DisposableEffect(viewLifecycleOwner) {
        val observer = LifecycleEventObserver { _, event ->
            if (event == Lifecycle.Event.ON_START) {
               // Toggle transparent bar
                systemUiController.setStatusBarColor(Color.Black.copy(0.32f))
            } else if (event == Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP) {
               // Toggle original
                systemUiController.setStatusBarColor(statusBarColor)
            }
        }

        viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycle.addObserver(observer)

        onDispose {
            viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycle.removeObserver(observer)
        }
    }

@Veeksi Thanks for your code, it works fine in my project.

Any chance to provide such function in system ui controller as an extension or optional params?

@xiaozhikang0916 Dunno about that, but I would like to see that kind of functionality straight from the library itself!

I second this request. I have the use case where a detail screen changes the status bar color. When the composable is disposed, I want to restore the previous color. It could look like this:

DisposableEffect(Unit) {
    val prevColor = systemUiController.statusBarColor
    systemUiController.setStatusBarColor(Color.White)
    onDispose { 
        systemUiController.setStatusBarColor(prevColor)
    }
}
