How to set status bar background as gradient color or a drawable in Android?

by

enter image description hereFor some one who want to set gradient color to status bar background you can use following method in your activity before setContentView()

For Java

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public static void setStatusBarGradiant(Activity activity) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        Window window = activity.getWindow();
        Drawable background = activity.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.gradient_theme);
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
        
        window.setStatusBarColor(activity.getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
        window.setNavigationBarColor(activity.getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
        window.setBackgroundDrawable(background);
    }
}

For Kotlin

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
fun setStatusBarGradiant(activity: Activity) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        val window: Window = activity.window
        val background =ContextCompat.getDrawable(activity, R.drawable.gradient_theme)
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS)
        
        window.statusBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(activity,android.R.color.transparent)
        window.navigationBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(activity,android.R.color.transparent)
        window.setBackgroundDrawable(background)
    }
}

Thanks every one for your help

EDIT

If the above code don’t work, try to add this in your styles.xml:

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

If you want to override status bar with your view then use window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
