title: Android Completely transparent Status Bar?
body: <p>I've searched the <em>documentation</em> but only found this:
  <a href="http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html#UI" rel="noreferrer">Link</a>. Which is used to make the bar <strong><em>translucent</em></strong>? What I'm trying to do is to make the status bar <strong><em>completely transparent</em></strong> (as shown in the image below) and make it backwards compatible for APK&lt;19:

  <p>My styles.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"&gt;
  
    &lt;style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/ThemeActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;!-- Support library compatibility --&gt;
    &lt;item name="actionBarStyle"&gt;@style/ThemeActionBar&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="windowActionBarOverlay"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/style&gt;
  
    &lt;style name="ThemeActionBar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:background"&gt; @null &lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;!-- Support library compatibility --&gt;
    &lt;item name="background"&gt;@null&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:displayOptions"&gt; showHome | useLogo&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item name="displayOptions"&gt;showHome|useLogo&lt;/item&gt;
  
    &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
