Changing status bar background and text color in Android WebView

Question

I am programming my WebView app in android studio and I want dynamically changing the background and text color of the status bar.

I created a JavaScript interface which calls the java function and changed the background to black.

getWindow.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black));

It works well, but I can't change color of text to white. So icons and text are invisible.

Is there any way I can do that? Thanks in advance for any help.

Try this:

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility
(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
