I've made the status and navigation bar go transparent, like so:
window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS)
So that's all good, but now I need some code to make it un-transparent again. Not going good. So I tried using the clearFlags windows function like so:
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS)
And then set the status bar color:
window.statusBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.white)
window.navigationBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.white)
window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR or SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_NAVIGATION_BAR
but the status bar still shows as transparent, is this working for other people. or am I just doing something wrong on my part? Thanks :)
I was wondering if it's possible to change the statusbar icons colour (not the statusbar colour, colorPrimaryDark)
Let's say I want this statusbar with:
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/white</item>
and the icons in black, is it possible?
Thanks.
EDIT:
New in the M developer preview: windowLightStatusBar. Flipping this on
in your theme tells the system to use a dark foreground, useful for
lighter colored status bars. Note the M preview seems to have a bug
where notification icons remain white, while system status icons
correctly change to semitransparent black.

Yes it's possible to change it to gray (no custom colors) but this only works from API 23 and above you only need to add this in your values-v23/styles.xml
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
#eOnOe has answered how we can change status bar tint through xml. But we can also change it dynamically in code:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
View decor = getWindow().getDecorView();
if (shouldChangeStatusBarTintToDark) {
decor.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
} else {
// We want to change tint color to white again.
// You can also record the flags in advance so that you can turn UI back completely if
// you have set other flags before, such as translucent or full screen.
decor.setSystemUiVisibility(0);
}
}
if you have API level smaller than 23 than you must use it this way.
it worked for me declare this under v21/style.
<item name="colorPrimaryDark" tools:targetApi="23">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:targetApi="23">true</item>
Not since Lollipop. Starting with Android 5.0, the guidelines say:
Notification icons must be entirely white.
Even if they're not, the system will only consider the alpha channel of your icon, rendering them white
Workaround
The only way to have a coloured icon on Lollipop is to lower your targetSdkVersion to values <21, but I think you would do better to follow the guidelines and use white icons only.
If you still however decide you want colored icons, you could use the DrawableCompat.setTint method from the new v4 support library.
SystemUiVisibility flags are deprecated. Use WindowInsetsController instead
the code below sets the color of icons to black (for the light statusbar)
//icon color -> black
activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowInsetsController().setSystemBarsAppearance(APPEARANCE_LIGHT_STATUS_BARS, APPEARANCE_LIGHT_STATUS_BARS);
and the code below clears it(i.e. turns icon color to white for dark statusbar):
//icon color -> white
activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowInsetsController().setSystemBarsAppearance(0, APPEARANCE_LIGHT_STATUS_BARS);
link to docs :
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowInsetsController#setSystemBarsAppearance(int,%20int)
Setting windowLightStatusBar to true not works with Mi phones, some Meizu phones, Blackview phones, WileyFox etc.
I've found such hack for Mi and Meizu devices. This is not a comprehensive solution of this perfomance problem, but maybe it would be useful to somebody.
And I think, it would be better to tell your customer that coloring status bar (for example) white - is not a good idea. instead of using different hacks it would be better to define appropriate colorPrimaryDark according to the guidelines
You can do it programmatically with retaining all other system UI visibility flags.
public static void changeStatusBarContrastStyle(Window window, Boolean lightIcons) {
View decorView = window.getDecorView();
if (lightIcons) {
// Draw light icons on a dark background color
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(decorView.getSystemUiVisibility() & ~View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
} else {
// Draw dark icons on a light background color
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(decorView.getSystemUiVisibility() | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
}
}
in kotlin you can use following lines
val window = this.window
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS)
window.statusBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.white)
WindowCompat.getInsetsController(window, window.decorView).apply {
isAppearanceLightStatusBars = true
}
This is for all those who want to change their application's Notification small icon color can use this setColor method of NotificationCompat.Builder
Example:
val builder = NotificationCompat.Builder(this, "whatever_channel_id")
**.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification) //set icon for notification**
.setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.pink))
.setContentTitle("Notification Title")
.setContentText("Notification Message!")
I used two line of code for different status bar color
1st: If status bar color is white then use this line of code to visible the status bar icon:
pingAct.getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
2nd: If you use dark color then use this line of code to make visible the status bar icon:
pingAct.getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
Yes you can change it. but in api 22 and above, using NotificationCompat.Builder and setColorized(true) :
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, context.getPackageName())
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setSmallIcon(icon, level)
.setLargeIcon(largeIcon)
.setContentIntent(intent)
.setColorized(true)
.setDefaults(0)
.setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_SERVICE)
.setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH);
I'm trying to change the status bar color in a DialogFragment.
However, on some devices, like OnePlus6 (Android 9) it doesn't work.
Furthermore it makes the status bar icons dissapear.
Here's the snippet I'm using:
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS)
window.statusBarColor = Color.WHITE
Also tried:
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS)
Try this:
getActivity().getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.FLAG_FULL_SCREEN);
Where the action bar meets the status bar there is this weird tint or elevation.
Does anyone know where I could find the settings to change it?
Thanks
What it normally looks like:
What it looks like now:
Edit:
I am also running Cyanogenmod 13.
Not sure where its adding that tint, but I was able to set it after it added back to normal
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
Window window = getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
window.setElevation(0);
window.setStatusBarColor(getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
}
I would like to have the statusbar and the navigationbar Translucent on my Main activity, while all the other activities use the Material Design.
What I got so far is this:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
Window window = this.getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION);
}
But the result is:
I even tried to set the color to transparent:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
Window window = this.getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
window.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
window.setNavigationBarColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
}
But I don't get the graduated shading I'm looking for to make the navigation buttons and the icons on the status bar visible:
Ideas?
I went around the problem.
I created a drawable that simulates the shade I was looking for and put it as wallpaper, while making the status bar and navigation bar transparent:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
Window window = this.getWindow();
Drawable background = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.background);
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
window.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
window.setNavigationBarColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
window.setBackgroundDrawable(background);
}
Here's the result:
From Android Lollipop it is fully translucent, without any shade. So you should do a color like #33000000 to get a shade in the statusbar.
Edit
I think you can only set a color for the statusbar. But you can add an ImageView with a gradient drawable and only show it when you're on lollipop. The status bar is 25dp high. I think there is also an attribute for this, but I don't know it. This way you simulate a gradient in the statusbar.
