Status Bar Color not changing with Relative Layout as root element

Question

I am just starting to learn android, I am learning to add AppBar. But if I use Relative Layout as the root then Status Bar don\'t use the color \"colorPrimaryDark\" defined

Answer 1

In v21/styles.xml you probably have this line of code:

  @android:color/transparent

And as you are running on API 23, the declared styles are overrided from the ones in v21/styles.xml.

As a solution:

Just remove that line and it will work fine
