Becoming a master window fitter�
summary
Explains why WindowInsets exist, how Android behavior changes across versions, and exactly which APIs to use: call setSystemUiVisibility layout flags to lay out behind bars, avoid hardcoding status bar sizes or reading internal resources, and use WindowInsets.getSystemWindowInsetTop/Bottom/Left/Right delivered via setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener or ViewCompat to read real inset values; prefer fitsSystemWindows on DrawerLayout/CoordinatorLayout/AppBarLayout/CollapsingToolbarLayout for provided widgets and avoid the translucent-system-bars shortcut because it hides important behaviors.
