navigation-drawer

I am trying to develop a full-screen app with 2 main activities: LoginActivity and DashboardActivity. LoginActivity has only the UI for user input to login like Username and password. In this screen the nav and status bar gets hidden completely without leaving any space. After login in the DashboardActivity I have a toolbar with Navigation drawer. In this activity I did all things I did in LoginActivity. What happens is the Nav and status bar gets hidden but the space occupied by Nav bar before hiding alone stays. This happens only in Android 5+. It works fine in Kitkat. Here are the snapshots

I am working on an App which has design requirement to be built as it should only have the Title on the ActionBar and not the App Icon. i tried various solutions found from StackOverflow like getActionBar().setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false); getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); getActionBar().setIcon(null); however none of these worked so far, even i tried to make a hack/fix by making a transparent ic_launcher icon and put it into manifest.xml but it causes the App installation icon make transparent. please help getActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false); works perfectly in 4.4

I am working on an app with Material Design Guidelines. I have a boilerplate app created by Android Studio. For some reason the status bar has a little gradient at the bottom which creates an illusion of Appbar (Toolbar) being on a higher elevation than status bar. I took a look on Chris Bane's Cheesesquare app for reference and it doesn't look like he is doing anything special to achieve that. Here are the screenshots for reference - Boilerplate app Cheesesquare app Notice that Cheesesquare app's status bar and app bar feel like on the same elevation with just different shades of purple.

When using the drawer layout is there a way to overlay the drawer view over the action bar? I do not want to hide the action bar when the drawer is shown. I want the action bar to simply stay put, but be sent to the background. An example of this is the iOS Play Music app... My current implementation hides and shows the action bar when the drawer state changes, but I do not like this user experience. public void onDrawerClosed(View view) { getActionBar().show(); invalidateOptionsMenu(); } public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) { getActionBar().hide(); invalidateOptionsMenu(); } I searched
