this is very easy way to do this without any Library: if the OS version is not supported - under kitkat - so nothing happend. i do this steps:
<View android:id="@+id/statusBarBackground" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
then i made this method:
public void setStatusBarColor(View statusBar,int color){
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
Window w = getWindow();
w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
//status bar height
int actionBarHeight = getActionBarHeight();
int statusBarHeight = getStatusBarHeight();
//action bar height
statusBar.getLayoutParams().height = actionBarHeight + statusBarHeight;
statusBar.setBackgroundColor(color);
}
}
also you need those both methods to get action Bar & status bar height:
public int getActionBarHeight() {
int actionBarHeight = 0;
TypedValue tv = new TypedValue();
if (getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.actionBarSize, tv, true))
{
actionBarHeight = TypedValue.complexToDimensionPixelSize(tv.data,getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}
return actionBarHeight;
}
public int getStatusBarHeight() {
int result = 0;
int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
if (resourceId > 0) {
result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
}
return result;
}
then the only thing you need is this line to set status bar color:
setStatusBarColor(findViewById(R.id.statusBarBackground),getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));
