Current time display?

[AVCPL]

On other apps I use, such as Podcast Addict, I can still see the current time without changing screens. 

Is there a setting for this in Poweramp that I'm missing?

You have probably disabled the Android status bar, in PA Settings > Look and Feel.

Status bar is showing location and wifi signal strength but now time is not showing. It was showing sometimes before now it is not showing. Was not sure when it was shown and not sure how it disappeared even when status bar is enabled in the PA Settings. Can some one please help to bring time in status bar.

@DAN-KP If the time is not showing in your Android status bar, you need to look into the Android settings, not Poweramp.

@andrewilley In android i can see Time, Date & Day  on left end of top status bar and on right side location icon, and wifi signal icon. but when i switch to PA there it only showing the Location icon and Wifi icon.

Poweramp can only show or hide the status bar, it can't control the contents (other than showing the media notification pull-down while playing anyway). Are you using a stock Android and launcher on your device?

@andrewilley Sorry i missed to put some details. I am using Android Ai box from Carlinkit connected to my Stock Car head unit. The version in Android Ai box is 13. The PA launcher is native and no additional skin are installed.  The 'time' was not showning when i installed PA few days back but I saw the Time in status bar yesterday while making changes in the PA> settings > Look and Feel.  I actually dont remember which setting changes brought the 'time' in status bar. After that i played around the Look and feel option customising to show song title and folder name. But today when i opened PA the time was not showing in the status bar. I disabled and enabled the status bar in PA and did a rest in Look and feel section, but nothing worked out.  So i thought of seeking help 

[andrewilley]

There's nothing I can think of I'm afraid, other than there's a whole load of custom stuff going on there...  I assume the end result on your car headunit display is shown via an Android Auto interface? But again, not much Poweramp can do about it unless Max has a specific idea of what might be happening.

what got me confused is that, the status bar showing 'time' the other day and next day it was not shown.  I was wondering what happened and trying to find out the reason. i will have a look today, will play around each settings one at a time and try to find out what is happening.  Will upload pics once i had a solid finding on the issue.

Can we request this as feature?
Display Clock in the Navigation bar for wider screen and works in full screen as well (toggle button in Look and feel)

[andrewilley]

@maxmp is there any control that a local app can exert over whether the clock or other items are displayed in the status bar or not? I thought that was down to the system to define.

@andrewilley there is no such control, we can show or hide it and manipulate background under the status bar.
