I need to change the colors of the icons the same as app in Google Calendar, as shown in the image below:

I saw that in Material Design you have the options colorPrimaryDark but you do not have to change the color of the icons. Can anyone help me?

Use of the split method Animate the text of a textView so that it can be displayed progressively?

Just set it to true windowLightStatusBar in style in of the styles.xml file. This will change the icons to gray (no custom colors). See:

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

Note : This only works from the API 23 . For example: values-v23/styles.xml . Or you can enter the property targetApi being like 23 this way:

<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:targetApi="23">true</item>

You can also do this programmatically, see:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    View decor = getWindow().getDecorView();
    if (shouldChangeStatusBarTintToDark) {
        decor.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
    } else {
        decor.setSystemUiVisibility(0);
    }
}

Note that you first need to check the version of the SDK you are using.
