Manual Configuration

Android

Edit android/settings.gradle:

+ include ':react-native-android-immersive-mode'
+ project(':react-native-android-immersive-mode').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-android-immersive-mode/android')

Edit android/app/build.gradle: (for versions before v2.0.0, use compile instead of implementation for gradle@<=2)

dependencies {
  implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
  implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
  implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
+ implementation project(':react-native-android-immersive-mode')
}

Edit android/app/src/main/java/.../MainApplication.java:

+ import com.jayli3n.ToggleImmersiveMode.ToggleImmersiveModePackage;

...

  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
    List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
+   packages.add(new ToggleImmersiveModePackage());
    // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
    // packages.add(new MyReactNativePackage());
    return packages;
  }

Usage:

import { immersiveModeOn, immersiveModeOff } from 'react-native-android-immersive-mode';
...
immersiveModeOn(); // Turn on immersive mode
immersiveModeOff(); // Turn off immersive mode

If immersive mode goes away after the app goes into background, use AppState to listen to when the app returns back to foreground from background, then run immersiveModeOn().

import { AppState } from 'react-native';

class App extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    AppState.addEventListener('change', this.handleAppStateChange);
  }

  handleAppStateChange = (nextAppState) => {
    if (nextAppState === 'active') {
      immersiveModeOn();
    }
  };

  render() {
    immersiveModeOn();
    return (
      <View />
    );
  }
}
