How to change the status bar color in Android?

Question

First of all it\'s not a duplicate as in How to change the background color of android status bar

How do I change the status bar color which should be same as in nav

Answer 1

Just create a new theme in res/values/styles.xml where you change the "colorPrimaryDark" which is the color of the status bar:

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:

This is how your res/values/colors.xml should look like:

    #3F51B5
    #303F9F
    #c6d6f0
    #757575
