Understanding WindowInsets

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Going full screen with setDecorFitsSystemWindows(false) pushes UI under the navigation bar so measure the navigation inset with getInsets(Type.navigationBars()) and apply bottom margin or padding; getInsets is API 29+ so use WindowInsetsCompat/WindowCompat for backward compatibility (works on ~API 21+). Use Insetter to replace verbose boilerplate with builder calls like marginBottom(type = navigationBars). Use WindowInsetsController to set status bar appearance and show/hide IME; Android 12 adds rounded corners and privacy indicator bounds to avoid clipped icons.
