Hi,
I stumbled across the problem that my app content was showing behind the navigation bar on android 15+ devices.
After research I tried multiple solutions like the @capacitor-community/safe-area and @capawesome/capacitor-android-edge-to-edge-support plugins, but I can’t seem to get the desired result.
What I want to accomplish (what worked before on android devices running android 14 or lower, by simply using StatusBar.setOverlaysWebView({ overlay: true })):
If we compare that to what happens after installing for example @capawesome/capacitor-android-edge-to-edge-support:
There’s a fixed color for the statusbar rather than allowing content to flow through.
I also tried to apply the bottom inset as a padding on content for android 15+ devices so it would show above the te navigation bar, but without luck. It was inconsistent on different devices and sometimes the inset was just not set.
I’m out of ideas. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance!
