Change status bar text color when primaryDark is white

you can use API 23 specific stuff, you can add the following to your AppTheme styles.xml:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <!-- Status bar stuff. -->
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item> 
</style>

Change font on TabLayout using Calligraphy

private void initTabs() {
        TabPagerAdapter adapter = new TabPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        pager.setAdapter(adapter);
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(pager);
        //tabLayout it doesn't respond to style attribute 'tabTextAppearance' so we have to use customview
        for (int i = 0; i < adapter.getCount(); i++) {
            TabLayout.Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(i);
            if (tab != null) {
                tab.setCustomView(R.layout.tab_text);
                tab.setText(adapter.getPageTitle(i));
            }
        }
    }

res/layout/tab_text.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- needs this container to work with the Tablayout -->
