Answer 1

I was working on an old app and trying to convert it to material style. The code and everything was fine however the only mistake I had that was hindering the status bar tinting on >= Lollipop devices was "TargetSDKVersion" in build.gradle. It was set to less then 21. I changed it to 21 and statusbar tinting started working.
