FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS Causes content to go below navigation bars

Question

Using the following code causes my layout to extend below the navigation bars. Id just like to change the status bar color without messing up the layout.

int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
        if (currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
            getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
            getWindow().setStatusBarColor(this.getResources().getColor(R.color.statusbar_color));
            //TRANSPARENT FOR TESTING
            getWindow().setNavigationBarColor(this.getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
        }

I feel like I'm missing something...

Answer 1

Just add

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                                |  View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

It worked for me.
