Answer 1

This has work to me

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            activity.getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);
        }

Answer 2

Just remove following tag from style v21 @android:color/transparent

This works for me.

Answer 3

I have found solution for this -

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
</style>

add this into your style and it will work for api 21 or above.

Answer 4

 <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    </style

Just Replace this , statusBarColor should be your expected color and not TRANSPARENT

I fixed my issue by changing my Activity layout from FrameLayout to RelativeLayout. Thanks everybody who tried to help!

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/transparent">

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
      android:id="@+id/pager"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:background="@color/theme_primary_dark"
      android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

Try hierarchy-viewer or ViewInspector. These tools might help you.

Check this Toolbar turns white - AppBar isn't drawn after being scrolled off screen

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=178037#c19

I'm using libraries 23.0.0. and the bug still occurs.

Workaround for this is adding View that takes nearly no space and can be invisible. See the structure below.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height=".3dp"
        android:visibility="visible"/>

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

This Questions on Stackoverflow.com refer to this bug too: CoordinatorLayout Toolbar invisible on enter until full height AppBarLayout - Layout sometimes invisible once it enters view (even if it's not entered)
