Can I set FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS only for status bar?

Question

I need to make transparent status bar. I am using getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS) and it is make status bar as I want. But it also affect navigation bar: it became transparent and getWindow().setNavigationBarColor(Color.BLACK) do nothing.

Is there way to make transparent status bar only and not navigation bar?

Solution 1

this work for me

getWindow().setFlags(
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS
)

styles.xml

<style name="TranslucentStatusBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>

v21\styles.xml

<style name="TranslucentStatusBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>

status bar will be transparent or translucent, navigation bar won't

hope this helps!

using mikepenz's comment

what I exactly working code (converted to kotlin) below here.

// at AppCompatActivity, min SDK is 16, I tested api 25
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19 && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 21) {
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS)
    }
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
        window.decorView.systemUiVisibility =
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
    }
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
        window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS)
        window.statusBarColor = Color.TRANSPARENT
    }

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
}

Scroll down to check how the end result looks like

First of all, define your styles.xml something like this-

styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>

DO NOT add the following line

<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>

Adding above line will NOT shift the layout up when the soft keyboard is shown on a Dialog with an EditText

Then override this style in v21 and v23 styles like this-

v21/styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
     <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">false</item>
</style>

v23/styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
     <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">false</item>
</style>

Activity code - Kotlin

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    window.setFlags(
            LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,
            LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS
    )
    setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT_RESOURCE_ID)
    .
    .
.
}

Activity code - Java

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().setFlags(
            LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,
            LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS
    )
    setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT_RESOURCE_ID)
    .
    .
    .
}

End result

Solution 4

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION);

Solution 5

fun showTransparentStatusbar() {
        activity!!.window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN)
    }


    fun removeStatusbarFlags() {
        activity!!.window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN)
    }

This solution does the job as described. The navigation bar is opaque and there is no content under it.

[Robokishan]

which Android are you using because its for older android 6 or 7

[Shashank Degloorkar]

Perfect and concise answer. Kudos

[BST Kaal]

Finally ! A precise and original answer.

[Aanal Shah]

It worked for me. Additionally all I have to do is just adjust my layout top according to status bar. Thank you so much :)

[Rajkiran]

@NikunjPatel It worked for me (and 4 others). Can you post your code as a question where it is not working for you and send the link here. Maybe I can help.

[smoothumut]

thanks only this one worked for me. clean and precise. no need for extra info

[Abdul Mateen]

It doesn't make the status bar transparent. It simply hides the status bar.

[phamxuanlu]

Almost device is work well but It isn't work on Samsung Note 10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.0 The navigation bar still transparent and overlap app's content.

[Karsh Soni]

prevent scroll view from scrolling

[Alexey Timokhin]

That doesn't work on Samsung SM-T295 (Android 10, One UI 2.1). The navigation bar appears on top of the content.

[Alexey Timokhin]

it makes the status bar disappear

[AndreasReiff]

This does not work! I can't set light theme on the navigation bar. Only white buttons with black translucent background.

[Shunan]

You are right.. i tried it and didn't regret it

[hmac]

window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = window.decorView.systemUiVisibility or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN Is better (I needed this to keep status bar icons black instead of white)

[famfamfam]

FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS hide actionbar

[famfamfam]

[famfamfam]

[famfamfam]

this hide my toolbar?

[famfamfam]

you just adjust margin of your view, so what did i do if i have toolbar?

[Eugene P.]

That was 3 years ago ) Yep. WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN worked for nexus 5.

[TheJudge]

what do you mean ? I set margin to root component of my layout. In that layout I also have Toolbar
