Default Alpha value of navigation bar in Lollipop

Question

If you set android:windowTranslucentNavigation to true in your theme in Lollipop the navigation bar won't be fully translucent like in KitKat. Instead it's a dark semi-transparant background. Does anyone here know what the alpha value is of that background?

Answer 1

I've made some test with navigation bar and found that alpha of navBar when android:windowTranslucentNavigation = true is 40% of black color.

So color in hex would be: #66000000

Here is steps how I calculated this value:

1. I made screenshot as presented below
2. Then I open it in Gimp image editor and take RGB values of each color
3. White is (255,255,255), white under navBar (153,153,153)
4. Grey is (150,150,150), grey under navBar (90,90,90)

Then I calculate as next: 255 is 100% 153 is x x = 153 * 100 / 255 = 60%

So I calculated invert value of alpha channel, the true value of alpha channel is 100 - 60 = 40%

ARGB value of 40% is (102,0,0,0) in hex it's #66000000
