I have a Activity which has a theme for its Status Bar, but it has an influence on Fragment to which I want another color in the Status Bar.
Is there any way I can change the color of the Status Bar only when that Fragment is opened, and return to normal when it is closed?
You can change through the setStatusBarColor() method:
context.getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
Please note that this function is only available from API 21 ( Lollipop ), so check it before using it:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
context.getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
}
With Status Bar , you mean the Actionbar / Toolbar ? If so, you can manually change (code) with:
ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#CCFF0000")));
In this way, when the Fragment is created you can get the Activity, from the Activity get the Fragment and change by color the Actionbar color.
EDIT:
I had misinterpreted your question. The answer from sicachester is correct.
