…ml`, update `BackgroundColor` regarding Android - `StatusBarBackgroundColor` is handled since cordova-android 15, which is reused from cordova-plugin-statusbar. When`AndroidEdgeToEdge` is `true`, this preference may not produce a visible status bar background fill, but it can still influence status bar icon/text light-versus-dark appearance. - Add prefernce example of`StatusBarBackgroundColor` - Update documentation of `BackgroundColor` that on Android if `StatusBarBackgroundColor` is not set, this value is also used for the status bar. Depending on the Android OS version, this preference may also change the navigation/gesture bar. Edge case: if the value is invalid, Cordova ignores it and falls back to platform defaults/fallback colors. - Add note to AndroidEdgeToEdge, that when it set the built-in StatusBar JavaScript API methods (such as `window.statusbar.setBackgroundColor`) are not applied. - Generated-By: GPT-5.3-Codex
