Answer 1

If you want to change the status bar color programmatically (and provided the device has Android 5.0). This is a simple way to change statusBarColor from any Activity and very easy methods when differents fragments have different status bar color.

 /**
 * @param colorId id of color
 * @param isStatusBarFontDark Light or Dark color
 */
fun updateStatusBarColor(@ColorRes colorId: Int, isStatusBarFontDark: Boolean = true) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        val window = window
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS)
        window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS)
        window.statusBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(this, colorId)
        setSystemBarTheme(isStatusBarFontDark)
    }
}

/** Changes the System Bar Theme.  */
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
private fun setSystemBarTheme(isStatusBarFontDark: Boolean) {
    // Fetch the current flags.
    val lFlags = window.decorView.systemUiVisibility
    // Update the SystemUiVisibility depending on whether we want a Light or Dark theme.
    window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = if (isStatusBarFontDark) lFlags and View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR.inv() else lFlags or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR
}
