Where do I find the styles.xml file in Android Studio?

Question

I have a very simple application that runs an html file. I really want to change the color of the status bar, because the standard top and bottom in black is horrible for the color palette of the page shown. I have no idea about Android and I can't start learning now, but I tried to follow the answers, as in this question here at Stack Overflow: How to change the status bar color in android. However, I can't even find the styles.xml file that is indicated to put the parameters inside. I tried to create the "value" folder with the styles.xml file inside, but it only corrupted the app, as I imagined it would happen.

This is how the file tree of my app (generated by the Website to APK Builder) is seen:

What do I do to accomplish this?

Note: I tried the edits through Android Studio.

For more details, here's the .apk: Google Drive

Answer 2

You don't need a styles.xml file in the new Android Studio. Go to your project file view: Res>Values>Themes folder.

Open themes.xml file change actionbar.

Hello Emmanuel. Did you see my screenshot? There's no this file inside "res" – Cairngorm

Then you will have to create it yourself. – Hazing

when i do this the apk gets corrupted. I believe there is something more that needs to be done, but I really don't understand anything, that's why I'm asking for help – Cairngorm
