Hi, why does the status bar not react to its background to maintain proper visibility?

[Arsildo Murati]

In this example as you can see, I am using enableEdgeToEdge()

I have no xml code for theming and I am using just @android:style/Theme.Material.Light.NoActionBar

[Arsildo Murati]

in iOS it automatically changes the style to maintain proper visibility

I noticed the navigation pill in android does this as well, it automatically handles its color so it is always visible, the system bar does not

[Arsildo Murati]

You guys love sending “not kotlin” but this is very much android related

[Chrimaeon]

As you said „android related“. But check the code of conduct - we talk about the kotlin programming language so your general android question is off topic.

[Arsildo Murati]

But these are Kotlin APIs that are used in Android, sorry if i misunderstand but this is a kotlin related question of something that is used in android

[Arsildo Murati]

I might have the wrong idea

[Chrimaeon]

you want to change the behavior of the status bar, right? So that’s a pure android question and has nothing to do with kotlin. Check the channel description for android related resources.

[Arsildo Murati]

Alright I am sorry

[Arsildo Murati]

my perticular question still is related to the edge to edge apis that are new and written in kotlin

[Arsildo Murati]

and their behaviour is not what i would expect

[Arsildo Murati]

anyways I will delete/ look into where to properly ask
