Using windowTranslucentStatus with CollapsingToolbarLayout

There has now been an update to the design library. I'm guessing that the issue posted above was a bug.

If you update the design library to the latest version this issue no longer occurs.

I have now removed all fitsSystemWindows="true" except for the ImageView (as that needs to display under the status bar).

I have also removed the minus padding from the Toolbar.

This is my theme for 21+

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>    <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item></style>

It all works as expected now

Add fitsSystemWindows to layout and set to true.

Update

Sorry for my incomplete answer.You should add fitsSystemWindows="true" to layout xml like below codes.

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout    android:id="@+id/main"    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView        android:id="@+id/recyclerView"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="match_parent"        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:background="@color/background_material_dark"        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">        <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout            android:id="@+id/collapsingToolbarLayout"            android:layout_width="match_parent"            android:layout_height="match_parent"            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|enterAlwaysCollapsed"            app:statusBarScrim="#09b"            app:contentScrim="#09f"            android:fitsSystemWindows="true">            <ImageView                android:id="@+id/img"                android:layout_width="match_parent"                android:layout_height="wrap_content"                android:src="@drawable/location_banner"                app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"                app:layout_collapseParallaxMultiplier="0.7"                android:fitsSystemWindows="true"/>            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar                android:id="@+id/toolbar"                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"                android:layout_width="match_parent"                app:layout_collapseMode="pin"                android:fitsSystemWindows="true"                app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar"                app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"/>        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout></android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

The best way to achieve this is like Stimsoni said

Add android:fitsSystemWindows="true" to the CoordiatorLayout, AppBarLayout and ImageView

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"android:id="@+id/main_content"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:fitsSystemWindows="true"><android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout    android:id="@+id/appBar"    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">    <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout        android:id="@+id/collapsing_toolbar"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed|snap">        <ImageView            android:id="@+id/background"            android:layout_width="match_parent"            android:layout_height="256dp"            android:scaleType="centerCrop"            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"            app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"            android:alpha="0.75"            android:src="@drawable/foo"/>        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar            android:id="@+id/toolbar"            android:layout_width="match_parent"            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"            app:layout_collapseMode="pin"/>    </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>        </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>...
