Android 4.4 — Translucent status/navigation bars — fitsSystemWindows/clipToPadding don't work through fragment transactions

Question

When using the translucent status and navigation bars from the new Android 4.4 KitKat APIs, setting fitsSystemWindows=\"true\" and clipToPadding=\"false\"

Answer 1

I solved the issue by using the library I use the set the color of my translucent status bar.

The SystemBarConfig class of SystemBarTint (as seen here https://github.com/jgilfelt/SystemBarTint#systembarconfig) lets you get insets which I set as the padding to the list in every fragment, along with the use of clipToPadding="false" on the list.

I have details of what I've done on this post: http://mindofaandroiddev.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/making-the-status-bar-and-navigation-bar-transparent-with-a-listview-on-android-4-4-kitkat/
