Android Lollipop transparent statusbar

Question

My problem is easy but I need some help I have a MainActivity, several Fragments and NavigationDrawer. I also use a Appcompat v7 NavigationDrawer is shown behind the statusbar for what I use ScrimInsetsLayout. In styles I have colorPrimary and colorPrimaryDark(parent is Theme.Appcompat)

In main activity I use setStatusBarColor(Color.TRANSPARENT) to show Drawer in statusbar. So now I have colorPrimaryDark statusbar color and NavigationDrawer in statusbar

Now I created a new Fragment and I need to disable colorPrimaryDark color and make statusbar real transparent

As I said before, setting color to transparent makes it colorPrimaryDark with drawer shown

Setting it to any other color "hides" drawer.

Thanks

The transparent translucent status bar is available from API 19, create a new values-v19 folder and a styles.xml inside it then update your BaseAppTheme like this:

<!-- Base application theme for v19. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>

But, this would make your UI use the space behind StatusBar, so I would suggest adding an extra TOP padding, of 25dp (researched and found every API uses 25dp as StatusBar height even in landscape mode), for devices > API19
