Can I set FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS only for status bar?

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?

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!

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

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