Translucent status bar in Android

Question

I am using the following layout (main_activity.xml)

Answer 1

try this:

add this in your app theme:

true
true

Set android:fitsSystemWindows=”true” to root container

Now in your activity onCreate():

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

Updated, Result:

you can make the snackbar draw on top of screen:

Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(parentLayout, str, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
View view = snack.getView();
FrameLayout.LayoutParams params =(FrameLayout.LayoutParams)view.getLayoutParams();
params.gravity = Gravity.TOP;
view.setLayoutParams(params);
snack.show();
