I'm trying to retrieve the StatusBar object from within the view constructor using the following code:
bool mobile = Windows.Foundation.Metadata.ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.Phone.PhoneContract",1,0);
if(mobile) {
var statusbar = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
}
Using Visual Studio Community 2015, I get the following errors:
Error CS0731 The type forwarder for type 'Windows.UI.ViewManagement.StatusBar' in assembly 'Windows' causes a cycle
Error CS1069 The type name 'StatusBar' could not be found in the namespace 'Windows.UI.ViewManagement'. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'Windows, Version=255.255.255.255, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, ContentType=WindowsRuntime' Consider adding a reference to that assembly.
According to Microsoft, this class should be present. I even added a dependency to Package.appxmanifest for the Mobile device family and still nothing. Any ideas?
