Custom Translucent Color (changing transparency)

I am trying to achieve brighter translucent status bar ,only the status bar and trying to keep navigation bar as its default.

I tried some solutions(actually non of them worked as what i want).

In this one i couldn't change translucent transparency, i am trying to get brighter one.But it is not changing.

The other option, i tried to use fullscreen theme and placed a gradient view same height as status(that is what i want). But in this time Layout extends behind of navigation and navigation looses its black background.I couldn't find solution for that.(making it translucent not what i want)

TLDR : i am trying to get brighter translucent status with keeping navigation as its default. Is it possible?
Edit. min SDK is 20 (sorry for bad english)

Solution

  • I found the solution here
    By adding this one into onCreate()

    getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
   View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);

    And this adding this into your style 

     <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
