title: NavigationView and Translucent Status Bar
body: <p>I followed all the tips on SO on how to achieve this and no success so far... I would like to have a Semi-transparent/transparent (not sure of the difference) status bar. </p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE 25/03/16:</strong> I tried all kinds of Theme attributes without progress. Updated question with what I attempted for the v21 styles file and a <strong>Bounty</strong>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Does anyone have an idea?</strong></p>
  
  <p><code>fitSystemWindows</code> is set in both my <code>DrawerLayout</code> and <code>NavigationView</code> in the xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout   
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:id="@+id/drawer"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:fitsSystemWindows="true"&gt;
                       ...
          &lt;android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
          android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
          android:id="@+id/nvView"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:layout_gravity="start"
          android:background="@color/tealfifty"
          app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_item"
          app:itemTextColor="@color/drawer_item"
          app:itemIconTint="@color/drawer_item"
          app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
          app:menu="@menu/navigation_view_items" /&gt;
  &lt;/android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my app theme:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimary"&gt;@color/teal&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimaryDark"&gt;@color/tealDark&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorAccent"&gt;@color/purple700&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowActionBar"&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:navigationBarColor" tools:targetApi="21"&gt;@color/teal&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;@color/iron&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlActivated"&gt;@color/white&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlHighlight"&gt;@color/white&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textColorHint"&gt;@color/iron&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my <code>v21\styles</code> </p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;style name="MyTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base"&gt;
      &lt;item name="windowActionBar"&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowSharedElementsUseOverlay"&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:statusBarColor"&gt;@android:color/transparent&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried including those in the v21 styles:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;item name="android:windowContentTransitions"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowAllowEnterTransitionOverlap"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowAllowReturnTransitionOverlap"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowSharedElementEnterTransition"&gt;@android:transition/move&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowSharedElementExitTransition"&gt;@android:transition/move&lt;/item&gt;
  </code></pre>
