On Android I can set a transparent statusbar with the following style line:

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

I would like to display a text directly under the statusbar with the same background color of the statusbar. My problem is if I set the background color to my primaryColor it is a bit brighter because I haven't added the alpha value of the statusbar to the color.

So how can I get the alpha value of the statusbar from code to add it to my background color?

  • Thanks for this answer but it's not what I'm looking for.I would like to display a View below the statusbar (to create an extended effect) with the sane alpha value and do not want to Draw behind it. – Cilenco Oct 23 '16 at 07:50

Do you want like this ?

If yes. After Android 5.0. You should set colorPrimaryDark same as colorPrimary. colorPrimaryDark means status bar color. And one important step, if your layout code like this:

   <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

Delete "AppBarLayout". Change to :

  <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
