Menifest - there is no theme define in any activity

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

color file

<color name="colorPrimary">#35734F</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#35734F</color>
    <color name="colorAccent">#D2AB67</color>

Try adding <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item> and <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item> in your style.xml(v21).

style.xml

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">

</resources>

style.xml(v21)

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <!--Application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

And you may want to take a look at this link if some of your activities' status bar turn to white : https://stackoverflow.com/a/38182815/3121246 — Wei WANG, Sep 04 '17 at 01:09

change parent to "Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

</style>

</resources>
