Android - setStatusBarColor() NoSuchMethodError exception

Question

I published my Android app on Google Play and I get many reports about crashes from some devices. At first I thought that this is a SDK version problem, but after I update, it still happens. Here is the report log that I get:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.view.Window.setStatusBarColor

This is line 81 at MainActivity class:

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
    Window statusBar = getWindow();
    statusBar.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
    statusBar.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
    statusBar.setStatusBarColor(Color.parseColor("#111111")); <--- LINE 81
}

It usually crash in devices such as: Galaxy S5 (kltecan),Galaxy S2 Plus (s2vep),alps..

Answer 1

It needs to be

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)

instead of

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19)

as setStatusBarColor() was added in API level 21.

Edit : u can use like it :

  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
          //your code
        }

Answer 2

use this:

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
    Window statusBar = getWindow();
    statusBar.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
    statusBar.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
    statusBar.setStatusBarColor(Color.parseColor("#111111"));  }
