改变Android状态栏的颜色

Android 5.0 Lollipop introduced Material Design theme which automatically colors the status bar based on the ColorPrimaryDark value of the theme.this requires min API 21 

<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/my_awesome_color</item>

    <!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/my_awesome_darker_color</item>

    <!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated
         which is used to tint widgets -->
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>

    <!-- You can also set colorControlNormal, colorControlActivated
         colorControlHighlight & colorSwitchThumbNormal. -->
</style>

the way to do this without any Library: if the OS version is not supported - under kitkat - so nothing happend.

1.  added to the top this View:

<View
        android:id="@+id/statusBarBackground"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

  2.add this method:

 public void setStatusBarColor(View statusBar,int color){
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
           Window w = getWindow();
           w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
           //status bar height
           int actionBarHeight = getActionBarHeight();
           int statusBarHeight = getStatusBarHeight();
           //action bar height
           statusBar.getLayoutParams().height = actionBarHeight + statusBarHeight;
           statusBar.setBackgroundColor(color);
     }
}

 3. add method get action Bar & status bar height:

public int getActionBarHeight() {
    int actionBarHeight = 0;
    TypedValue tv = new TypedValue();
    if (getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.actionBarSize, tv, true))
    {
       actionBarHeight = TypedValue.complexToDimensionPixelSize(tv.data,getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }
    return actionBarHeight;
}

public int getStatusBarHeight() {
    int result = 0;
    int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
    if (resourceId > 0) {
        result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
    }
    return result;
}

  4.then the only thing you need is this line to set status bar color:

setStatusBarColor(findViewById(R.id.statusBarBackground),getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));
