Short description of the problem:

When opening an image in a full screen modal, we are hiding the status bar using the status bar plugin as follows:

if (window.StatusBar) {
                        if (window.StatusBar.isVisible) {
                            window.StatusBar.hide();
                        }
                    }

On Android, the whole screen jumps up shortly to fill the new available space as the status bar isn't there anymore before it is resized to the new screen dimensions without the status bar.

This actually happens when not opening any modal window. Just hiding the status causes the screen to jump.

What behaviour are you expecting?

There should be no jumping of the screen.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In any Ionic app using the status bar plugin, hide the status bar and you will see the issue described

if (window.StatusBar) {
                        if (window.StatusBar.isVisible) {
                            window.StatusBar.hide();
                        }
                    }

I'made a video of this issue occuring on a Samsung Galaxy S6 which can be downloaded from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22622235/android_status_bar.mp4

The app is using Crosswalk, animatable preference set to false.
