I am really curious what this bar is called and how to edit the color of it.
I got the Toolbar to the color green, but how is this blue bar above it called? I know it is not the tool bar, i know its not an action bar, but i cant find the right name of it. Once i know the name i probably know how to change the background color of it, but i really dont know the name..
Status bar (or notification bar) is an interface element at the top of the screen on Android devices that displays the notification icons, minimized notifications, battery information, device time, and other system status details.
The Notification Panel is a place to quickly access alerts, notifications and shortcuts. The Notification Panel is at the top of your mobile device's screen. It is hidden in the screen but can be accessed by swiping your finger from the top of the screen to the bottom.
The system bars are screen areas dedicated to the display of notifications, communication of device status, and device navigation. Typically the system bars (which consist of the status and navigation bars, as shown in figure 1) are displayed concurrently with your app.
To customize it, first pull down the slider bar from the top of the screen. Next, tap on the three vertical dots in the top right corner. Now click on Status bar. You're in.
This region is called the Notifications area. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_notifications.htm
UPDATE It's actually called Status Bar while the expanded section is called Notification Area.
Some websites (see above) incorrectly call this Notification Area, and they call the resulting expanded section Notification Drawer
