Change background color of android bottom navigation bar.

[waheedakhtar694]

As react-native-navigation offers options to change the background color of the Android navigation bar, is there a way in react-native-screens too like below to change the background color on the fly?

@WoLewicki Any suggestion on this?

It is currently not available in our library, but for sure it could be. We are always open for PRs with such functionalities and it shouldn't be too hard to implement I think. You are right that react-native-navigation already does it and I believe the code for these functions is in this file: https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/blob/9bb70d81700692141a2c505c081c2d86c7f9c66e/lib/android/app/src/main/java/com/reactnativenavigation/utils/SystemUiUtils.kt

@waheedakhtar694 can you check if #1264 is what you need?

[waheed25]

@WoLewicki yes, this is what i was talking about, any idea when it will be merged?

[waheedakhtar694]

@WoLewicki I saw this PR in detail and seems like there isn't any implementation for changing the background color of the Navigation Bar on the fly like how I can make changes to the status bar, Can I with this PR?

@waheedakhtar694 using navigationBarColor prop should change the color of navigation bar, similarly to how it is done with status bar. You can see it done e.g. here: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens/pull/1264/files#diff-676b7c94b457068affed59b63df75348e5a353566666f1939aed71230fbdaaf5R173. You can try and run the TestsExample project and use Test860.tsx in App.js to check all these options.
