WindowInsets + config changes question here. I am experiencing the behavior shown in this video when changing from light to dark mode

dark_mode_insets.mp4

I’ve made sure to try with

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|screenLayout|keyboardHidden|mnc|colorMode|density|fontScale|fontWeightAdjustment|keyboard|layoutDirection|locale|mcc|navigation|smallestScreenSize|touchscreen|uiMode|grammaticalGender"

And with

android:configChanges=""

I did add

WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false)

And using Material3

NavigationBar

which by default uses

WindowInsets.systemBarsForVisualComponents.only(WindowInsetsSides.Horizontal + WindowInsetsSides.Bottom)

for the inset there.

Filed this https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/304883136 just to see if I get a response there if I am doing something wrong there.

How are you changing night mode without the QS toggle? ADB? Or you're toggling the theme automatically in code?

Stylianos Gakis

10/12/2023, 2:22 PM

ADB indeed. I did it this way here to make the video easier to see. But I get the exact same experience when toggling it the normal way, through the quick actions you get when dragging from the top (I really don’t remember the name now)

Tried it myself, doesn't happen to me. I've got NavBar, all

configChanges

, and decor fits via

ComponentActivity.enableEdgeToEdge

. Nothing else I think.

Are you also using

adjustResize

Stylianos Gakis

10/12/2023, 2:29 PM

ComponentActivity.enableEdgeToEdge would be the next thing I wanted to try, but I thought it'd do the same thing as seDecorFitsSystemWindows but I could be wrong. Also that one is on a beta dependency atm. Do you see the same good behavior with seDecorFitsSystemWindows?

10/12/2023, 2:30 PM

No I'm not overriding

windowSoftInputMode

at all

Stylianos Gakis

10/12/2023, 2:31 PM

Right, but

windowSoftInputMode

really is needed to get proper backwards compatible experience to older Android OS versions. If you don’t mind, could you also test with it being

adjustResize

Yes

Thanks a lot for checking that out too! Prior discussion regarding adjustResize btw https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1678478920064349?thread_ts=1678303192.301849&cid=CJLTWPH7S

Maybe it's an XML theme thing more than Compose or anything else

Stylianos Gakis

10/12/2023, 2:40 PM

Wow okay what else could I be doing wrong then. This is a new sample project, pure compose, I don’t think I have anything defined in XML theme that would interfere with this

10/12/2023, 2:40 PM

I use

Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar

with this:

Aha, well I don’t know what the last 5 things do here 😅

10/12/2023, 2:41 PM

Should not be relevant here but just for completeness

10/12/2023, 2:41 PM

windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds

might be though

Stylianos Gakis

10/12/2023, 2:45 PM

Don’t see why why I’d need to add this here though to be honest, that should just be regarding how the system bars are styled, not how insets are handled. And in general, in a compose only world +

enableEdgeToEdge

I thought should be able to handle everything regarding insets here 🤔

Alex Vanyo

This is a platform/launcher level issue. Changing dark mode in the system triggers a recreation of the navigation bar (the actual system UI component), which momentarily results in no navigation bar. It looks like your app is dutifully handling the intermediate zero insets and resizing though, which is good 😄

Stylianos Gakis

10/12/2023, 5:38 PM

Suffering from success. Handling the insets too well 😂

Stylianos Gakis

Alright, sounds like not something I can handle then. I suppose it's not something users will experience too often though, so I should just let it be if I want to be a bit pragmatic here 🤷‍♂️

Alex Vanyo

Yep nothing you can do from the app side, thank you for striving for perfection

The insets obsession all started after watching this

It's all your fault 😂
