Updating the statusbar color resets the pagination indicator

[SandroMachado]

Hi @FuYaoDe,

I am trying to update the status bar color (in Android) to match background of each page of the onboard.

My render function looks like this:

  render() {
    return (
      <View>
      <StatusBar
        backgroundColor={shadeStatusBarColor(this.state.statusBarColor, -0.3)}
      />
      <AppIntro
        onDoneBtnClick={this.doneBtnHandle}
        onSkipBtnClick={this.onSkipBtnHandle}
        onSlideChange={this.onSlideChangeHandle}
        pageArray={this.state.pageArray}
      />
      </View>
    );
  }

On the slide change callback I have this:

onSlideChangeHandle = (index, total) => {
    this.setState({ statusBarColor: this.state.pageArray[index].backgroundColor, currentPage: index });
  }

Doing this, the color of the statusbar changes, but the pagination is reset to the first position.

I also tried to do this change directly in the library (I want to make a PR to add this feature to the library also), but the behaviour is the same, the page position is not persisted.

Do you have any tips to fix this?

Thanks for the great work.

Hello @SandroMachado this behaviour is due to the use of setState in your callback. Using setState triggers the render method thereby reinitializing the AppIntro component (and resetting pagination to first position).

@nelsonkam I know, but the component should know that it is not required to redraw the component, since I am not changing any variable that affects the component.

Hi @SandroMachado You can use defaultIndex temporarily fix the bug

  render() {
    return (
      <View>
      <StatusBar
        backgroundColor={shadeStatusBarColor(this.state.statusBarColor, -0.3)}
      />
      <AppIntro
        onDoneBtnClick={this.doneBtnHandle}
        onSkipBtnClick={this.onSkipBtnHandle}
        onSlideChange={this.onSlideChangeHandle}
        pageArray={this.state.pageArray}
        defaultIndex={this.state.currentPage}
      />
      </View>
    );
  }

onSlideChangeHandle = (index, total) => {
    this.setState({ 
      statusBarColor: this.state.pageArray[index].backgroundColor,
      currentPage: index 
    });
  }

And I will look for the unusual render

Another fix for this is using the imperative method available in the StatusBar.

StatusBar.setBackgroundColor(shadeStatusBarColor(this.pageArray[index].backgroundColor, -0.3), false);

This will not cause the re-render of the AppIntro component.

This is kind of fixed by #42.

Do you know a way to make this works for Advanced Usage?
