None of the answers worked for me  but this is what finally worked after i set android fitSystemWindows on the root view I set these in styles v21     lt item name  android windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds  gt true lt  item gt   lt item name  android windowTranslucentStatus  gt false lt  item gt    Make sure you don t have the following line as AS puts it by default    lt item name  android statusBarColor  gt  android color transparent lt  item gt

Use android fitsSystemWindows  true  in the root view of your layout  LinearLayout in your case    And 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

According google docs  we should not use fitsSystemWindows attribute  in app theme  it is intended to use in layout files  Using in themes can causes problem in toast messages     Check Issue here   amp   example of problem caused here   lt item name  android fitsSystemWindows  gt true lt  item gt    Example of using correct way and which works fine with windowTranslucentStatus as well    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt android support v4 widget DrawerLayout  xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  xmlns app  http   schemas android com apk res-auto  xmlns tools  http   schemas android com tools  android id    id drawer layout   android fitsSystemWindows  true   android layout width  match parent  android layout height  match parent   gt      lt include layout   layout toolbar       android layout width  match parent       android layout height  wrap content  gt   lt  include gt    lt android support design widget NavigationView     android id    id nav view      android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  match parent      android layout gravity  start      android fitsSystemWindows  true      android background   color white      android animateLayoutChanges  true      app headerLayout   layout navigation drawer header      app menu   menu navigation drawer menu    gt    lt  android support v4 widget DrawerLayout gt
