Answer 1

1. If I want to draw behind StatusBar I use CoordinatorLayout as most parent view of Activity (android:fitsSystemWindows="false")

styles.xml(v21)

Then If you want to change statubarcolor, you have to remove TRANSLUENT_FLAG like this

Window window = activity().getWindow();
        if(showTransluent){
            window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
            window.setStatusBarColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
        }else {
            window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
            window.setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(activity(), R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
        }

2. If I want StatusBar to be transluent and simultanieousy kepping view away from hidding behind StatusBar I use as most parent view FrameLayout with argument

My styles.xml(v21) look like

And styles.xml

Maybe the point key here is to be sure that you use AppCompactActivity as well as you use Theme.AppCompact as root for your styles.
