Your status bar background is white, the background of your drawer LinearLayout
. Why? You are settings fitsSystemWindows="true"
for your DrawerLayout
and the LinearLayout
inside it. This causes your LinearLayout
to expand behind the status bar (which is transparent). Thus, making the background for the drawer part of the status bar white.
If you don’t want your drawer to extend behind the status bar (want to have a semi-transparent background for the whole status bar), you can do two things:
1) You can simply remove any background value from your LinearLayout
and color the background of your content inside it. Or
2) You can remove fitsSystemWindows="true"
from your LinearLayout
. I think this is a more logical and cleaner approach. You will also avoid having a shadow being cast under the status bar, where your navigation drawer doesn’t extend.
If you want your drawer to extend behind the status bar and have a semi-transparent, status bar sized overlay, you can use a ScrimInsetFrameLayout
as a container for your drawer content (ListView
) and set the status bar background using app:insetForeground="#4000"
. Of course, you can change #4000
to anything you want. Don’t forget to keep fitsSystemWindows="true"
here!
Or if you don’t want to overlay your content and only display a solid color, you can just set the background of your LinearLayout
to anything you want. Don’t forget to set the background of your content separately though!
EDIT: You no longer need to deal with any of this. Please see Design Support Library for a times easier Navigation Drawer/View implementation.
