hide and show home button indicator in Capacitor app

Android

To be able to hide the home indicator on Android, you need to update your MainActivity.java file to add the following code:

// ...

import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.WindowInsets;

import com.getcapacitor.BridgeActivity;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {


    void fixSafeArea() {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
            getWindow().setDecorFitsSystemWindows(false);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        fixSafeArea();
    }
    // on resume
    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        fixSafeArea();
    }

    // on pause
    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        fixSafeArea();
    }
}

And the update styles.xml to add the following code:

        <item name="android:statusBarColor">
            @android:color/transparent
        </item>
