Make navigation drawer draw behind status bar

by

For API 21+

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor">
    ...
</style>

For API 19+

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

Your layout should have android:fitsSystemWindows="false" (which is the default).

Now since you want to toggle the translucency you can do it programatically:

Window window = getWindow();

// Enable status bar translucency (requires API 19)
window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS,
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

// Disable status bar translucency (requires API 19)
window.getAttributes().flags &= (~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

// Set a color (requires API 21)
window.setStatusBarColor(Color.RED);

I leave all the sdk version checking to you 🙂
