Well, I've been trying for a while to put the alpha to the status bar but I can not do it, I want to do as well as the toolbar with setAlpha ()
toolbar.getBackground().setAlpha(intColor);
but can not find a similar property for the status bar, try the following code but I have achieved my goal;
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.alpha(intColor));
Thanks in advance.
Remember that
window.setStatusBarColor() works for Android 5.0 and later. Use the Color.argb() method to define the alpha :
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
int alpha = 150; //valor 0 a 255.
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.argb(alpha, 250, 120, 0));
}
With respect to the method getBackground() of toolBar it is better to use setBackgroundDrawable(colorDrawable);
You define a color in colors.xml to create the ColorDrawable:
ColorDrawable colorDrawable = new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(R.color.mi_color));
You define an alpha between 0 and 255 for your ColorDrawable :
colorDrawable.setAlpha(150);
defines the ColorDrawable to your toolBar:
mToolbar.setBackgroundDrawable(colorDrawable);
Try adding the color by Hexagesimal and adding two more characters at the beginning you get the alpha. Here a table about these two characters:
