fitsSystemWindows and extra padding on kitkat
android, android-4.4-kitkat, translucentdecor
Solution
You should add this attribute to parent view :
<LinearLayout
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
tools:context=".LauncherActivity"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
Problem
I have a ListView in an activity with an actionbar like this: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" tools:context=".LauncherActivity" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ListView android:id="@+id/lvcalendar" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:clipToPadding="false" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:dividerHeight="10dp" android:paddingTop="10dp" android:paddingBottom="10dp" android:divider="#00ffffff" android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@drawable/scrollbarstyle" android:layout_gravity="top" android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent" /> </LinearLayout> ``` The activity theme have: ``` <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item> <item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item> ``` Under Kitkat devices, the behaviour is what I want: the items have 10dp padding at the bottom and at the top. On kitkat devices the paddingTop and paddingBottom seem to have no efect as the ListView's item do not have the 10dp padding at the top and bottom. I think the problem is somewhere in `android:fitsSystemWindows` as this attribute seem to set the necessary padding to the view because of translucent decor and make the `android:padding*` attributes being ignored. My question: is there anyway so I can have the `android:fitsSystemWindows` set to `true` and still add extra padding on the view?
