[Bug]: Mobile status bar hides bottom buttons and elements get readded

[kadisonm]

What happened?

I've noticed that backlinks and other status bar elements get readded when opening a new note. Requires a restart to clear them again.

Another issue mentioned by @YIRU69 is the status bar covers the buttons on the bottom of the screen.

These issues should be fixed in the next update alongside fixes to the default settings for it.

If you're on computer then by default:

• status bar -> enabled
• showing only last synced -> disabled

If you're on mobile then by default

• status bar -> disabled
• showing only last synced -> enabled

This should be fixed in 0.4.47, but users updating may need to tweak their settings on mobile - not sure the fixes flipped the settings correctly if they were already set.

I think it's better, but I'm seeing it covering the buttons on iOS still. Maybe needs more CSS tweaking?

[kadisonm]

Whoops my mistake. It looks like it changes depending on the device. I hardcoded the value to move it up and assumed it would be consistent since it looked right on my pc and phone.

Will have to try and see if I can get the value from the css somehow.

[YIRU69]

I'll share my thoughts; why not change the display method? For instance, display an icon that, when clicked, will expand to reveal information, and after a period of time, it will automatically contract back into a button. This approach doesn't require such high CSS adaptations for different devices. I didn't know much about CSS, but I understand that this can be implemented.

It's not a bad idea but it will require getting the height of the nav bar at the bottom to place the button above it anyways. I made a PR that fixes the status bar for all devices (hopefully) and it turned out to be a simple fix anyways.

Wouldn't be opposed to adding a button if there was enough people who want it. I feel like the status bar would do just fine though.

+1. @YIRU69 please feel free to open a feature request, happy to merge if it is implemented or take a stab at it when I get more free time to contribute further.

Odd, it seems like on my phone (android) the status bar isn't shifting. Weird how it does on my computer though.

I'll make another PR soon and will test on my phone properly before merging this time. I suspect the is phone check isn't returning true for my device, but will need to have a look.

On a side note, can anyone confirm if it is working on iOS?

[kadisonm]

Looks like this not working is likely due to #132.
