How to make Two activities with different colored status bar in Android.

There are so many situations, where we need to change the different action bar colors according toproject requirement . This example demonstrate about how to make Two activities with different colored status bar.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

In the above code we have created on button when you click on button it going to call second activity.

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.andy.myapplication;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFF00"));
         }
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
         Button button = findViewById(R.id.click);
         button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
               Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Main2Activity.class);
               startActivity(i);
            }
         });
      }
   }
}

getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFF00"));

public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
         getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.parseColor("#B22222"));
      }
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
   }
}
