unfortunately there is no support of that functionality for previous versions of Android through the support library. (Anything before 5.0 won't work).

  • I'll check it out, but they do not use the support library for sure – Amedeo Baragiola Feb 09 '15 at 10:23
  • I've found out a solution for your issue: check out this library https://github.com/jgilfelt/SystemBarTint it should help you setting the bar in translucent mode so that you can draw the color underneath.. Also if you like my answer remember to accept the question, not just upvote it, it helps me gain reputation. – Amedeo Baragiola Feb 09 '15 at 10:32

You can't have this on pre-lollipop versions.

Yup! It's true that you cannot set the color of status bar in pre lollipop devices. But I have seen colorful status bar in some of the pre lollipop devices like Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4G.

This can be done by setting the status bar in translucent mode. Hope this was helpful :D
