I want to achieve a transparent status bar in pre lollipop and above lollipop as well. My minimumSdkLevel is 19. I have tried the following method to achieve transparent statusbar. But the toolbar is going underneath statusbar.
Here is the screenshot (This is a Full screen Fragment with Toolbar on it):

I have even added android:fitsSystemWindows="true" to the root layout of the Activities and Fragments.
I have added this below code as well in the Activities and Fragments:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
Window window = getWindow();
window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
}
Why I am not getting transparent Statusbar and why Toolbar is going underneath Statusbar?
in default style.xml
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="BGTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>

</style>
<style name="BGTheme.ActionBar.Transparent.AppBarOverlay"
parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="BGTheme.ActionBar.Transparent.PopupOverlay"
parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
and in your v-21 style.xml
<style name="BGTheme.ActionBar.Transparent" parent="BGTheme">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
Note: Add this in your root layout android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
remove if statment
not work below 21
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
add flowing lines in your 'style.xml'
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/transparent</item>
EDIT:
try Using the following Line in your Base View.
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
as it is mention also
android:fitsSystemWindows is an
internal attribute to adjust view layout based on system windows such
as the status bar. If true, adjusts the padding of this view to leave
space for the system windows. Will only take effect if this view is in
a non-embedded activity.
Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".
This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form
"#[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form
"?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.
This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol
fitsSystemWindows.
You can also use it globally by using the below line in your theme
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
I hope it helps. It works in my Project.

I am having problem with status bar color when I use android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
It becomes transparent. I dont want that to happen. I want to it have colorPrimaryDark as its color.
I have to set this as false because I am using a FrameLayout in main layout so that I can inflate a overlay fragment, When android:fitsSystemWindows="false" is set true the overlay occupies whole screen, I dont want that to happen with overlay fragment.
my activity_main looks like this.

In your Activity below the setcontentview(...)
Window window = getWindow();
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
// finally change the color
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
window.setStatusBarColor(Color.parseColor("#c2212a"));
}
You can try to set the status bar color explicit
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/color_primary_dark</item>
or set the translucent status to false
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">false</item>
When adding some alpha to my Toolbar background color, I notice there is a background applied to the title's TextView:
Here is my layout:

android:layout_width="match_parent"

<item name="android:textSize">50sp</item>
</style>
</resources>
"black_overlay" color value is #66000000
I am using AppCompat and Support libraries v24.2.1.
Do you have any idea on how to get rid of this text background?
Cheers.
As you can see in the following issue, the problem comes from the attribute app:theme. It is applied to every view that a viewgroup inflate.
Replace app:theme by style:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
style="#style/FullscreenActionBarStyle"
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/ActionBarTitle"/>
Alright, removing the background properties on the FullscreenActionBarStyle style and putting it in the Toolbar layout definition make it work.
As #apelsoczi pointed out, settings these properties in the toolbar style also apply them on children components.
Encapsulate a TextView inside the Toolbar and set the value of that.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
...>
<TextView ... />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
I am running an android project. My toolbar and status bar are all green in my activity_main layout. If i change toolbar color to other color the status bar will change to the new one too.
I have an activity with activity_hotel_detail.xml layout. The status bar and toolbar colors are different color which is i need.
Why does the same configuration for Toolbar makes the status bar color are different?
How can i make my main_activity layout is the same one as my activity_hotel_detail layout?
I am new on android, any help thanks!

EDIT
my activity extend from AppCompatActivity, i see the source code only sdk version larger than 23 can get the system theme.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
So if i run under sdk 23, the status bar appears correct as expect.
if (delegate.applyDayNight() && mThemeId != 0) {
// If DayNight has been applied, we need to re-apply the theme for
// the changes to take effect. On API 23+, we should bypass
// setTheme(), which will no-op if the theme ID is identical to the
// current theme ID.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
onApplyThemeResource(getTheme(), mThemeId, false);
} else {
setTheme(mThemeId);
}
}
Use following code in your activity's onCreate() method
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.primary_dark));
}
Where primary_dark color is your toolbar's color
Add this in your values-v21/styles.xml.
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/IndianRed</item>
Your theme should Look like this remove Transparent.
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/IndianRed</item>
</style>
This may help you.
<resources>
<!-- inherit from the material theme -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material">
<!-- Main theme colors -->
<!-- your app branding color for the app bar -->
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<!-- darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<!-- theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
Reference: https://developer.android.com/training/material/theme.html#StatusBar
Note: as per the google doc"the toolbar uses the 500 version of indigo, while the status bar uses the 700 version." Doc Link: https://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-schemes
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/cardview_dark_background</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/cardview_dark_background</item>
it works for me if you have multiple theme
For information, I am using Android Studio 2.0 Preview 7, API 23.

But other activities are regular. This happened when I was trying to fix the keyboard covering EditText issue. However I almost solved that, new one raised.
For fixing it, I added scroll view in the above relative layout.
The manifest part of the activity is as follows
<activity
android:name=".OfferRide"
android:label="#string/title_activity_offer_ride"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateAlwaysVisible"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />
Other activity where things are normal.

In my case, the problem was because I had two files styles.xml in my project, in both of them had the same name of theme for the activities.
Let me describe it.
This is my activity in the AndroidManifest.xml:
This is my first styles.xml (default):
This is my second styles.xml (V21):
The app in running mode used the second style, it had the problem, because we couldn't see the colorPrimaryDark of the app.
The solution was, comment the last item in the second style.xml:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/AppBarLayout.html
AppBarLayout is a vertical LinearLayout which implements many of the
features of material designs app bar concept, namely scrolling
gestures.
Children should provide their desired scrolling behavior through
setScrollFlags(int) and the associated layout xml attribute:
app:layout_scrollFlags.
This view depends heavily on being used as a direct child within a
CoordinatorLayout
Use CoordinatorLayout instead of RelativeLayout and instead of ScrollView, Use NestedScrollView.
And change this:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
to:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
Since you already have Toolbar, let's imagine you've already added this in your OnCreate:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
For me, the issue was windowTranslucentStatus:
Before:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/bright_purple</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/background_dark</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>
After:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#color/bright_purple</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/background_dark</item>
</style>
Use this in your styles.xml:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/colorPrimaryDarkBlue</item>
I think I went all over SO for the answer. I think I am being trolled by Android L... Seems no matter what I do that actionbar's background still defaults to colorPrimary

I think you are doing it in the wrong way.I mean, the following Toolbar Hasn't any PrimaryColor or even Background:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="8dp"
android:paddingBottom="8dp"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>
<!--android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark"-->
<!--app:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">-->
<!--android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"-->
<!--app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"-->
So, this will works on (v21) versions only without any background or PrimaryColor.and as you can see, Toolbar is going to be like your Activity Theme which that has:
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
With:
Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
And, if you don't set any background color or PrimaryColor, because of:
Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
and your Toolbar, it has to be like that:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
Otherwise, it should crashed(i guess, not sure) because you have a Theme with DarkActionBar and one Toolbar with no background.
I think this is the problem!
Edit:
For completing the answer, since this code was simple anyway, i'll add it here:
Add this also in your AppBarLayout:
android:theme
Inspired from Mohsen answer, I did the following:
Defined a theme named AppTheme with parent Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
In AndroidManifest.xml, I assigned AppTheme as the android:theme
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
Created another theme for AppBarLayout named CollapsingToolbarTheme with parent Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/transparent</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
Finally, I assigned the new CollapsingToolbarTheme as the theme of AppBarLayout
android:theme="#style/CollapsingToolbarTheme"
