How to change the color for the status bar for lollipop devices?

Question

I am facing the issue in changing the colour of the status bar in lollipop devices .

Intially my status bar colour is in light grey i want to change the status bar colour into red.

The styles using for the activity is

  <!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#A82A37</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

The above style added in my application but there is no change in status bar colour.Please help me how to solve this.

Use this

public static void changeStatusBarColor(Activity act, int colorRes) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        act.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
        act.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
        act.getWindow().setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(act, colorRes));
    }

}

Create a new folder under /res called /values-v21 and put this styles.xml in there.
