Google IO 2016 App's status bar

Question

How the change status bar icon's color change in like Google IO 2016 App? I know there is no method. It looks like inverted.

EDIT

I finally find from a old post, it can be only grey if you are api 23 or above using:

<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>

Answer 1

Use the material theme and change the colors to get the theme you want.

Answer 2

well in your values-v21/styles.xml you can change the color and theme to whatever you want

<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/color_primary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/color_secondary</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/color_accent</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/color_primary</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Update:

In Marshmallow you can achieve dark icons with light status bar with android:windowLightStatusBar attribute, e.g in your values-v23/styles.xml you can set

<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
