Answer 1

You can use this simple code:

One-liner in Kotlin:

window.statusBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorName)

Original answer with Java & manual version check:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccentDark_light, this.getTheme()));
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccentDark_light));
}
