Answer 1

As previous, the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR do the work in my case, don't forget to set for higher than API 22.

add this to oncreate after the setContentView:

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

Answer 2

Try this once.

In your activity onCreate() method, paste the following code.

try {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
                Window window = getWindow();
                window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
                window.setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.color_red));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Note: color_red - is the status bar colour.

Answer 4

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);//  set status text dark

getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(MainActivity.this,R.color.colorPrimaryDark));// set status background white

It works for me

Answer 5

In your activity onCreate() method, paste the following code after the setContentView(R.layout.activity_generic_main);

Here is the sample code below.

public class GenericMain extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_generic_main);
        getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);

    }
}

Try this if not splash page

getActivity().getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION);
getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
getActivity().getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
getActivity().getWindow().setNavigationBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.white));
getActivity().getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.white));
