What it is
A Google I/O 2019 session from the Android team on Android Q's dark theme and gesture navigation. Chris Banes, Nick Butcher and Rohan Shah show how to support dark theme, handle system gestures, and draw edge-to-edge with window insets so apps work with the new system UI.

I'm trying to get edge-to-edge ( [this video] ) working correctly on API 21 up to 29. I'm using this on my v27\themes.xml : <item name="android:windowLightNavigationBar">true</item> <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item> And this in my Activity: override fun onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus: Boolean) { super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus) if (hasFocus) { window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE } } Plus, I'm setting android:fitsSystemWindows=true on my AppBarLayout . With that in place, it looks fine on API >= 27 where the content scrolls behind the now transparent navigation bar but on ol
