[FIXED] color the statusbar in android splash screen

Issue

I added a splash screen to my android app and I'd like to give the status bar a color when showing.

This is the content of the file under drawable:

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item
        android:drawable="@color/colorPrimary" />

    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:gravity="center"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_home"/>
    </item>

</layer-list>

and I added this style:

<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splashscreen</item>
</style>

Solution

Adding the colorPrimaryDark item to your theme should do the trick:

<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splashscreen</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
</style>
