Android: how can I set the color of the navigation bar

[Marc_Van_Daele]

On some devices (eg Android P device, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3), the bottom row (navigation bar?) remains white (see screenshot). Suggestions on how to set this color, preferably programmatically?

@Marc_Van_Daele said in Android P: Navigation bar stays white:

the bottom row (navigation bar?) does not get the applications background

what color do you expect it to be exactly?
did you specify a color?

I did not specify a color. I guess I should rephrase my question to "how can I set the color of the navigation bar".
