Status Bar Color not showing – 5.0 Lollipop Android Studio: (AppCompat-v7:r21)

Please read this: For this to take effect, the window must be drawing the system bar backgrounds with

android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS

but

android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS

must not be set (Source)

In case of you don’t know how to add that flag:

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
