bug: Status Bar is Hiddes as if the app is in Fullscreen mode

[RebelRon]

Version

6.9.4

Platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Web

Current behavior

When launching InAppBrowser.openWebView with toolbarType: ToolBarType.BLANK on Android, the status bar becomes hidden and only appears when swiping down from the top.
Note: On the screenshot the top is black because of a punch hole camera.

Expected behavior

The global app setting should be respected, with the status bar remaining visible.

Reproduction

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Call InAppBrowser.openWebView() with toolbarType: ToolBarType.BLANK on an Android Device (tested with Pixel 9 & 8)

our exact configuration:

    InAppBrowser.openWebView({
      url: this.url,
      disableGoBackOnNativeApplication: true,
      activeNativeNavigationForWebview: true,
      isAnimated: false,
      showReloadButton: false,
      visibleTitle: true,
      showArrow: false,
      toolbarType: ToolBarType.BLANK,
    });

Other information

I experimented a bit and found a possible solution:

In _ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/WebViewDialog.java on line 158, we can make the following change to fix the issue. This way, the status bar color will consistently be set to black. One could think about using toolbarColor or something like that to make this configurable. setAppearanceLightStatusBars needs then to be change accordingly.

  public void presentWebView() {
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setCancelable(true);
    Objects.requireNonNull(getWindow()).setFlags(
      WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
      WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN
    );
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_browser);
    getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    
    WindowInsetsControllerCompat insetsController = new WindowInsetsControllerCompat(getWindow(), getWindow().getDecorView());
    insetsController.setAppearanceLightStatusBars(false);
    getWindow().getDecorView().post(() -> {
      getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.BLACK);
    });
