In my android device I seem to need marginTop: 0 for it to behave as I expect. However, this library returns a value of 25.333, which leaves white space between android's statusbar and the beginning of my app. I have read there's this skipAndroid value that sets it to 0, but, what exactly is this? It means it will ignore every other statusbar height for any other android?

@mezod skipAndroid is needed to skip value for Android, with skipAndroid this will be 0 all time

what exactly is this

it's needed, because Android already positioning base view under StatusBar, but on iOS all apps should add marginTop = StatusBar.height

but sometimes you rly needed to get statusbar.height, for example when you are going to calculate all view area (Dimenstions.get(window) - statusbar.height)

I see, so the value for android is used for when StatusBar is set to translucent, right? Thanks!
