For Java Developers  As  Niels said you have to place in values-v21 styles xml   lt item name  quot android statusBarColor quot  gt  color black lt  item gt   But add tools targetApi  quot lollipop quot  if you want single styles xml  like   lt item name  quot android statusBarColor quot  tools targetApi  quot lollipop quot  gt  color black lt  item gt   For Kotlin Developers  window statusBarColor   ContextCompat getColor this  R color color name

Edit the colorPrimary in the  colors xml in Values to the color you want the Status Bar to be  For example       lt resources gt   lt color name  colorPrimary  gt  800000 lt  color gt     changes the status bar color to Burgundy  lt color name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  303F9F lt  color gt   lt color name  colorAccent  gt  FF4081 lt  color gt   lt color name  red  gt  FF0000 lt  color gt   lt color name  white  gt  FFFFFF lt  color gt   lt color name  cream  gt  fffdd0 lt  color gt   lt color name  burgundy  gt  800000 lt  color gt

Just create a new theme in res values styles xml where you change the  colorPrimaryDark  which is the color of the status bar    lt style name  AppTheme GrayStatusBar  parent  Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar  gt       lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  color colorGray lt  item gt   lt  style gt    And modify the activity theme in AndroidManifest xml to the one you want  on the next activity you can change the color back to the original one by selecting the original theme    lt activity     android name   LoginActivity      android theme   style AppTheme GrayStatusBar   gt       lt intent-filter gt           lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt            lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt       lt  intent-filter gt   lt  activity gt    This is how your res values colors xml should look like    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt resources gt       lt color name  colorPrimary  gt  3F51B5 lt  color gt       lt color name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  303F9F lt  color gt       lt color name  colorAccent  gt  c6d6f0 lt  color gt       lt color name  colorGray  gt  757575 lt  color gt   lt  resources gt

Well  Izhar solution was OK but   personally  I am trying to avoid from code that looks as this    if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES KITKAT      Do what you need for this SDK      As well  I don t like to duplicate code either  In your answer I have to add such line of code in all Activities   setStatusBarColor findViewById R id statusBarBackground  getResources   getColor android R color white      So  I took Izhar solution and used XML to get the same result  Create a layout for the StatusBar status bar xml   lt View xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android       android layout width  match parent       android layout height   dimen statusBarHeight       android background   color primaryColorDark       android elevation   dimen statusBarElevation  gt      Notice the height and elevation attributes  these will be set in values  values-v19  values-v21 further down   Add this layout to your activities layout using include  main activity xml    lt RelativeLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  android layout width  match parent  android layout height  match parent  android background   color Black   gt    lt include layout   layout status bar   gt   lt include android id    id app bar  layout   layout app bar   gt    The rest of your layout         lt  RelativeLayout gt    For the Toolbar  add top margin attribute    lt android support v7 widget Toolbar xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  xmlns app  http   schemas android com apk res-auto  android layout width  match parent  android layout height   android attr actionBarSize  android background   color primaryColor  app theme   style MyCustomToolBarTheme  app popupTheme   style ThemeOverlay AppCompat Dark  android elevation   dimen toolbarElevation  android layout marginTop   dimen appBarTopMargin  android textDirection  ltr  android layoutDirection  ltr  gt      In your appTheme style-v19 xml and styles-v21 xml  add the windowTranslucent attr   styles-v19 xml  v21    lt resources gt   lt item name  android windowTranslucentStatus  gt true lt  item gt   lt  resources gt    And finally  on your dimens  dimens-v19  dimens-v21  add the values for the Toolbar topMargin  and the height of the statusBarHeight  dimens xml for less than KitKat    lt resources gt   lt dimen name  toolbarElevation  gt 4dp lt  dimen gt   lt dimen name  appBarTopMargin  gt 0dp lt  dimen gt   lt dimen name  statusBarHeight  gt 0dp lt  dimen gt   lt  resources gt    The status bar height is always 24dp dimens-v19 xml for KitKat and above    lt resources gt   lt dimen name  statusBarHeight  gt 24dp lt  dimen gt   lt dimen name  appBarTopMargin  gt 24dp lt  dimen gt   lt  resources gt    dimens-v21 xml for Lolipop  just add the elevation if needed    lt resources gt   lt dimen name  statusBarElevation  gt 4dp lt  dimen gt   lt  resources gt    This is the result for Jellybean KitKat and Lollipop

To change the color for above lolipop just add this to your styles xml   lt item name  android statusBarColor  gt  color statusBarColor lt  item gt    but remember  if you  want to have a light color for the status bar  add this line too   lt item name  android windowLightStatusBar  gt true lt  item gt

Android 5 0 Lollipop introduced Material Design theme which automatically colors the status bar based on the colorPrimaryDark value of the theme    This is supported on device pre-lollipop thanks to the library support-v7-appcompat starting from version 21  Blogpost about support appcompat v21 from Chris Banes    Read more about the Material Theme on the official Android Developers website

I had this requirement  Changing programmatically the status bar color keeping it transparent  to allow the Navigation Drawer to draw itself overlapping the trasparent status bar   I cannot do that using the API  getWindow   setStatusBarColor ContextCompat getColor activity  R color my statusbar color    If you check here in stack overflow everyone before that line of code set the transparency of the status bar to solid with  getWindow   clearFlags WindowManager LayoutParams FLAG TRANSLUCENT STATUS    I m able to manage color and transparency of status bar like this    Android 4  there s not much you can do  because you can t manage status bar color from the API     the only thing you can do is to set the status bar as translucent and move a colored element of you UI under the status bar  To do this you need to play with  android fitsSystemWindows  false    in your main layout  This allows you to draw you layout under the status bar  Then you need to play with some padding with the top of your main layout  Android 5 and above  you have to define a style with   lt item name  android windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds  gt true lt  item gt   lt item name  android statusBarColor  gt  android color transparent lt  item gt    this allows the navigation drawer to overlap the status bar   Then to change the color keeping the status bar transparent you have to set the status bar color with  drawerLayout setStatusBarBackgroundColor ContextCompat getColor activity  R color my statusbar color     where drawerLayout is defined like this   lt android support v4 widget DrawerLayout     android id    id drawer layout      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android fitsSystemWindows  true  gt
