How to make my apps statusbar look like google maps?

Question

Does anyone know how to make statusbar look like google maps?

I manage to get transparent status for my drawer layout using android:fitsSystemWindows="true" and

<item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item> <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>

layout -> activity_main.xml

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">...
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/nav_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_main_header" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

values-v21 -> styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

Thanks.

You may do it using themes:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
</style>

Or programmatically:

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION);
