100% transparent status bar android in lollipop

Question

I want to make 100% translucent status bar in android so that it should show the image below it clearly. Image Attached.

I have set the following theme to my activity :

<resources>

    <style name="AppThemeT" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/transparent</item>
        <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>

    </style>
</resources>

But it is giving a weird gray colored shadow on the top. check attached image. I want to remove that shadow.

apply this theme to your layout root

<style name="AppTheme.Transparent">
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
</style>

And this back in your java activity file:

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
    }

Have you yourself tested it ? This will not even make the status bar transparent. It will also give that weird gray shadow over it – Gaurav Arora Jan 17 '18 at 07:33
it worked for me. on android 9, there was a gray shadow, but after set flags, it disappeared – Mahdi Moqadasi Dec 18 '19 at 11:36

Add this code in your onCreate();

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
        View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);

In your styles.xml, you add below lines.

<!-- 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>

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
    <item name="colorPrimary">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

create styles.xml for v21 and it should look like below:

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
   <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
   <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
   <item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
   <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
   <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
   <item name="colorPrimary">@android:color/transparent</item>
   <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

and in your manifest file you need to define your application theme:

<application
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

also you need to define activity theme in your manifest file

<activity
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
