Allows you to set your own custom color palette

To customize the theme's underlying colors to fit your brand, use the custom colors you define from the material theme Theme Inheritance property:

System components

Touch feedback animation for system parts

Activity Transitions Animation

You can customize the appearance of the material theme according to a color palette, which you control your brand image. You can adjust the action bar and use the theme properties of the status bar, 3.

The system components have a new design and a touch-feedback animation. You can customize color palette, touch feedback animations and activities to transform into your app.

    @android: style/theme.material (Dark Version)    @android: Style/theme.material.light (light version)    @android: Style/theme.material.light.darkactionbar

For a list of material styles that you can use, see the API reference for R.style.

Custom color palette
To customize the theme's underlying colors to fit your brand, use the custom colors you define from the material theme Theme Inheritance property:

<resources>  <!--inherit from the material theme to  <style name= "Apptheme" parent= "Android: Theme.material >    <!--Main Theme Colors--    <!--   your app branding color for the app bar-->
   <item name= "Android:colorprimary" > @color/primary</item>    <!--   Darker variant for the status Bar and contextual app bars-    <item name= "Android:colorprimarydark" > @color/primary_dark</item>    <!--   theme UI controls like checkboxes and text--    <item name= "Android:coloraccent" > @color/accent</item>  </style></resources>

Customizing the status bar
With the material theme, you can easily customize the status bar so you can specify a suitable actionbar and provide enough contrast to show the color of the white status icon. To set the custom color, status bar, use the Android:statusbarcolor property when you extend the material theme. By default, Android:statusbarcolor inherits the Android:colorprimarydark.

For example, if you want to display a photo on a transparent status bar, a subtle dark gradient to make sure that the White status icon is visible. To do this, set the Android:statusbarcolor property to @android:color/transparent and adjust the window's flags as needed. You can also use the Window.setstatusbarcolor () method to animate or fade.

Note: The status bar should almost always have a clear definition from the main toolbar, except here you show the edge of these bars to the edge of rich images or media content and situations when you use a gradient to make sure the icons are still visible.

When you customize the navigation bar and the status bar, you can make them both transparent or only modify the status bar. The navigation bar should remain black in all other cases.
