android - When using ActionMode, the status bar turns black on Lollipop -

i have status bar following in theme set on it:

<!-- base theme "material"-esque styles. use noactionbar      can use toolbar @ runtime. --> <style name="material" parent="theme.appcompat.light.noactionbar">     <item name="android:windowdrawssystembarbackgrounds">true</item>     <item name="android:windowtranslucentstatus">true</item>     ... </style> 

i have drawerlayout of activities, sets color of status bar liking using:

    mdrawerlayout.setstatusbarbackgroundcolor(getresources().getcolor(r.color.myapp_green)); 

i using toolbar, rather default actionbar, exists in layout (i.e. navigation drawer draws on top of it).

everything works fine, except in 1 of activities, have multi-select mode actionmode. when actionmode activated (using long press), overlays toolbar using:

<item name="android:windowactionmodeoverlay">true</item> <item name="windowactionmodeoverlay">true</item> <item name="actionmodestyle">@style/material.widget.actionmode</item> 

the material.widget.actionmode style is:

<style name="material.widget.actionmode" parent="@style/widget.appcompat.actionmode">     <item name="android:background">@color/myapp_green</item>     <item name="background">@color/myapp_green</item> </style> 

now, problem that, whenever happens, status bar turns myapp_green color black. it's if status bar translucency turned off (i'm using android 5.0). i'm wondering how might able behavior not happen, , keep status bar color/translucency as-is.

i've tried add <item name="android:windowtranslucentstatus">true</item> action mode's styles, adding <item name="android:statusbarcolor">@color/myapp_green</item> in style actionmode, both without success.

update:

i wonder if has wonky way i'm setting status bar background. of activity classes derive navigationdraweractivity.java:

/**  * {@link activity} supports navigation drawer, pull-out panel navigation  * menus. drawer pulled out left side of screen (right side on rtl devices).  */ public class navigationdraweractivity extends actionbaractivity   implements adapterview.onitemclicklistener {    private static final string logtag = navigationdraweractivity.class.getsimplename();    private drawerlayout mdrawerlayout;   private listview mdrawerlist;   private layoutinflater minflater;   private navigationdraweritemadapter madapter;   private actionbardrawertoggle mdrawertoggle;    private navigationdraweritem[] mnavigationdraweritems;    private toolbar mappbar;    @override   protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate); // have call super.setcontentview() here because baseactivity redefines setcontentview(), // , don't want use that. super.setcontentview(r.layout.navigation_drawer);  minflater = (layoutinflater) getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);      setupnavigationdrawer();   }    @override   protected void onpostcreate(bundle savedinstancestate) { super.onpostcreate(savedinstancestate);      // sync toggle state after onrestoreinstancestate has occurred.     mdrawertoggle.syncstate();   }    @override   public void onconfigurationchanged(configuration newconfig) {     super.onconfigurationchanged(newconfig);     mdrawertoggle.onconfigurationchanged(newconfig);   }    @override   public boolean oncreateoptionsmenu(menu menu) {     return true;   }    @override   public boolean onoptionsitemselected(menuitem item) {     int id = item.getitemid();      switch(id) {       case android.r.id.home:         return mdrawertoggle.onoptionsitemselected(item);     }      return super.onoptionsitemselected(item);   }    /**    * toggles state of navigation drawer (i.e. closes if it's open, , opens if    * it's closed).    */   public void togglenavigationdrawer() {     if (mdrawerlayout.isdraweropen(gravitycompat.start)) {       closenavigationdrawer();     } else {       opennavigationdrawer();     }   }    /**    * opens navigation drawer.    */   public void opennavigationdrawer() {     mdrawerlayout.opendrawer(gravitycompat.start);   }    /**    * closes navigation drawer.    */   public void closenavigationdrawer() {     mdrawerlayout.closedrawer(gravitycompat.start);   }    /**    * initializes items specific navigation drawer.    */   private void setupnavigationdrawer() {     mdrawerlayout = (drawerlayout) findviewbyid(r.id.drawer_layout);         mdrawerlayout.setstatusbarbackgroundcolor(getresources().getcolor(r.color.wiw_green));          mappbar = (toolbar) findviewbyid(r.id.app_bar);         setsupportactionbar(mappbar);          actionbar actionbar = getsupportactionbar();         actionbar.setdisplayhomeasupenabled(true);         actionbar.sethomebuttonenabled(true);         actionbar.setdisplayshowhomeenabled(false);          mdrawertoggle = new actionbardrawertoggle(           this,                  /* our context (activity hosts drawer) */           mdrawerlayout,         /* drawerlayout nav drawer drawn */           r.string.drawer_open,  /* description of "open drawer", accessibility */           r.string.drawer_close  /* description of "close drawer", accessibility */         ) {            /**            * called when drawer has settled in closed state.            */           public void ondrawerclosed(view view) {             super.ondrawerclosed(view);             supportinvalidateoptionsmenu();           }            /**            * called when drawer has settled in open state.            */           public void ondraweropened(view drawerview) {             super.ondraweropened(drawerview);             supportinvalidateoptionsmenu();           }         };          mdrawerlist = (listview) mdrawerlayout.findviewbyid(r.id.drawer_list);          mnavigationdraweritems = buildnavdraweritemslist();          setupadapter(mnavigationdraweritems);          setupnavigationdrawerheader();          mdrawerlayout.setdrawerlistener(mdrawertoggle);         mdrawerlist.setonitemclicklistener(this);       }        @override       public void onitemclick(adapterview<?> parent, view aview, int aposition, long aid) {         // code not relevant       }        /**        * set inner content view of {@link navigationdraweractivity} have given layout.        *        * @param alayoutid id of layout load inner content view of activity.        */       public void setdrawercontent(int alayoutid) {         layoutinflater inflater = (layoutinflater) getsystemservice(context.layout_inflater_service);         viewgroup root = (viewgroup)findviewbyid(r.id.drawer_content);         inflater.inflate(alayoutid, root);       }       } 

i have run drawerlayout.setstatusbarbackgroundcolor() have effect. changing colorprimarydark in values-v21/styles.xml has no effect on status bar. feel root of problem... these classes being converted non-material theme new, material-like theme, i'm wondering if missed when did conversion colorprimarydark recognized correctly.

i'm posting answer here because, while other solutions helpful, none of them answered question exactly. able find out call drawerlayout.setstatusbarbackgroundcolor() causing trouble. solution following:

1. enable windowtranslucentstatus , windowdrawssystembarbackgrounds in main theme.
2. remove call drawerlayout.setstatusbarbackgroundcolor() inside of navigationdraweractivity, activity classes derive.
3. set following styles in values-v21/styles.xml base theme:

         @color/app_green         @color/app_green         @color/app_green_dark         @color/app_green_dark         ?attr/colorprimarydark         ?attr/colorprimarydark 

4. inside of navigationdraweractivity class, in oncreate() method, execute following (thanks @tinadm part of answer): getwindow().getdecorview().setsystemuivisibility(view.system_ui_flag_layout_stable | view.system_ui_flag_layout_fullscreen);

5. inside of class presents actionmode, added following methods:

     @override     public boolean onprepareactionmode(actionmode mode, menu menu) {       if (build.version.sdk_int >= build.version_codes.lollipop) {         getactivity().getwindow().clearflags(windowmanager.layoutparams.flag_translucent_status);         // highlight status bar , distinguish action bar,         // action bar while in action mode colored app_green_dark         getactivity().getwindow().setstatusbarcolor(getresources().getcolor(r.color.app_green_darker));       }        // other stuff...       return true;     }      @override     public void ondestroyactionmode(actionmode mode) {       mactionmode = null;       if (build.version.sdk_int >= build.version_codes.lollipop) {         getactivity().getwindow().addflags(windowmanager.layoutparams.flag_translucent_status);         getactivity().getwindow().setstatusbarcolor(getresources().getcolor(r.color.app_green_dark));       }     } 

re-enabling translucent status bar when actionmode destroyed enables navigation drawer drawn underneath status bar. it's worth noting actionmode overlays action bar, overlay navigation drawer if it's pulled out when actionmode enabled (via swiping left-to-right). going disable functionality when actionmode enabled, doesn't confuse users.
