Im using the following code to change the color of status bar. When I try to do so, the app crashes.
Window window = getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
window.setStatusBarColor(getApplicationContext().getResources().getColor(Color.BLUE));
getColor(Color.BLUE) getColor takes a Resource identifier i.e. R.color.blue not a static Color constant
Ref:
http://developer.android.com/intl/es/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html#getColor(int)
The desired resource identifier, as generated by the aapt tool. This integer encodes the package, type, and resource entry. The value 0 is an invalid identifier.
This method is also deprecated now and recommended you use the compatibility getColor:
put this code
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
Window window = getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
window.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.textblue));
}
