I have a very simple application that runs an html file. I really want to change the color of the status bar, because the standard top and bottom in black is horrible for the color palette of the page shown. I have no idea about Android and I can't start learning now, but I tried to follow the answers, as in this question here at Stack Overflow: How to change the status bar color in android. However, I can't even find the styles.xml file that is indicated to put the parameters inside. I tried to create the "value" folder with the styles.xml file inside, but it only corrupted the app, as I imagined it would happen.

This is how the file tree of my app (generated by the Website to APK Builder) is seen:

tree of files

What do I do to accomplish this? Please help me!

Note: I tried the edits through Android Studio.

For more details, here's the .apk: Google Drive

  • I think your Gradle project is not properly sync. Please make sure your gradle project sync properly – Android Geek May 01 '20 at 04:35

No need styles.xml file in the new Android Studio. Goto your project file view: Res>Values>Themes folder.

Open themes.xml file change actionbar.

  1. Right click on res - new - package - write the name of package as values - in the drop down of folder type, select values - ok.
  2. The values folder is created!
  3. Right click on values package - new - Android Resource Xml file - write name as styles in the name section - Ok.
