I’m still seeing this problem as well. Ionic v1.0 boilerplate tabs starter project with bar-subheader added. Looks fine on IOS but subheader gets hidden behind (top-positioned) tabs on Android. Any pointers? I can “fix” this by pushing the tabs to the bottom of the screen (IOS-style) but I’d really rather not.
(Turns out if I push the tabs to the bottom of the screen on Android I run into another Ionic 1.0.0 bug: the soft keyboard doesn’t hide the tabs when it slides up, it just pushes them up, severely limiting the input view. I’ve seen this mentioned other places on the forum)
