Summary:
I started working on improving the `StatusBar` API and make it work on Android. I added support for `setColor`, `setTranslucent` (the status bar is still visible but the app can draw under) and `setHidden` on Android. Looking for feedback on how to improve the API before I put more time on this :).
Right now I went for a cross platform API and functions that don't exist on a platform are just a no-op but I'm not sure it is the best choice since at the moment what is supported is very different between both platforms. I was wondering what you guys think and if it would be better off as 2 different modules.
It is also possible to port some of the features I added for Android to iOS even if there is no 'standard' way to do it. Like `setColor` could be implemented by drawing a colored view under the status bar and translucent by adding/removing some padding.
