I bought premium yesterday my goal is to make a simple web browser app for my Android TV but after less than an hour i have ran into multiple just testing simple code functions. My device is a Galaxy S25 Ultra on Stock Rom running Android 16

#1. SetStatusBarColor()
#2. SetNavbarColor()

I cant get these to work even the examples dont work

I installed the MUI docs plugin and it said i need to add cfg.Light and cfg.MUI to the top of my apps code. I did this and tried to implement a simple appbar and it seems to work fine, but while looking at the example code in the MUI docs i found this line of code multiple times.

app.InitializeUIKit(color.teal)

I cant find this documented anywhere, i have also seen it in other peoples code posted here, what does it do? and how do you know to use to it if it isnt documented :/

#3 I installed the Droidscipt app on my S10 Tab Ultra and ran the built in App Demo app it opened up in Landscape orientation, looking at the code it does say to open in Portrait so why is it landscape? 

#4. If MUI is a keyword shouldnt it be displayed in a different color.

HI,
What version of DS is this?
Icon of 3 vertical dots, About shows version.
I suspect you are using v3 which is still in alpha testing.
The current release should be on Google Play Store.
Current version should get correct builder for Premium users
Icon of 3 vertical dots, About shows version, Plugins for builder.
Regards, ah

HI,
MUI is being deprecated (see Hybrid).
has Miscellaneous > colors
I suspect the docs for InitializeUIKit are lost
Most doc pages have a back arrow at the top,
or use Android back (bottom left)
Status and Nav bar colors don't work for me
Android 15 has edge-to-edge, you could try
app.SetScreenMode( "full" )
App Demo opens in Portrait for me
Do you mean the color of "MUI" in the editor?
Scratchpad in DS seems OK, 
but I have to run (triangle logo) to save
Do you mean in the WiFi scratchpad?
Regards, ah

MUI is being deprecated (see Hybrid).

Interesting it would of been nice to know this before subscribing but cool no problem il check out hybrid thanks

Most doc pages have a back arrow at the top,
or use Android back (bottom left)

Yeah it works in some places but not in others

Status and Nav bar colors don't work for me

Glad to hear it's not just me but doing this was what pushed me towards premium so its kinda pissed me off not being able to get it to work.

Android 15 has edge-to-edge, you could try
app.SetScreenMode( "full" )

I already tried this the statusbar gets hidden but theres a blank space were it was that the layout doesn't fill

App Demo opens in Portrait for me

I just tested this and it opens in Portrait on my phone, but not on my tablet

Do you mean the color of "MUI" in the editor?

Yeah if its a reserved keyword shouldn't it have a different text color when its used like words like var and const do?

Scratchpad in DS seems OK, 

Strange works great in the WiFi editor, but not in the DS app just says page not available

Do you mean in the WiFi scratchpad?

No, in the DS app see screenshot it just says page not available

HI, 

Editor colours seem to be javascript keywords, strings, numerics,
doesn't seem to include "app.".
Perhaps that could be a future addition.

On Discird (link in row near top of Documentation)
search for sbcolor (a user written plugin for status bar colour).

Hmm there's a fix for scratchpad in 2.79.0

Do get any messages in debug (bug icon at bottom) for Demo App?

no

Btw i messed with Hybrid last night i have a problem with that azwell but it seems great and as its clearly new its not that big of a deal, but the problem is the run button constantly shows a blank screen if i exit the app (The Hybrid app that is) and relaunch it, its fine but i have to do this everytime. Is this a known bug

HI,
According to remarks on Discord
 sbcolor plugin doesn't work on Android 15 (edge to edge).

For me WiFi IDE Home (briefly showd message about v3)]
gives message that it can't load the page,
Docs are very slow, Samples seem OK, 
Scratchpad doesn't seem to run on phone when triangle touched on wifi 
doesn't save changes to scratchpad
Regards, ah

This thing runs on Android 13 settings the statusbar color wont work on this either, it should be green, this does run a custom version of Android 13 though so maybe that has something to do with it, the samples are showing code now in the wifi editor so thats cool.

These methods were deprecated/disabled in Android a while back - 

#1. SetStatusBarColor()
#2. SetNavbarColor()

HI,
Try this on Android 15.
It makes the screen red, 
you have to slide up at the bottom/top
to get Android Status and Toolbar.
