This was really confusing for me but I eventually figured it out for my combination of views which looks like this:

I also used the methods posted by Budius in my app to get the transparent status bar working:

Delete the android:windowTranslucentStatus from your XML and in Java use like that:

   public static void setTranslucentStatusBar(Window window) {
      if (window == null) return;
      int sdkInt = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
      if (sdkInt >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
         setTranslucentStatusBarLollipop(window);
      } else if (sdkInt >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
         setTranslucentStatusBarKiKat(window);
      }
   }

  @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
   private static void setTranslucentStatusBarLollipop(Window window) {
      window.setStatusBarColor(
             window.getContext()
                   .getResources()
                   .getColor(R.color. / add here your translucent color code /));
   }

   @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
   private static void setTranslucentStatusBarKiKat(Window window) {
      window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
   }
