It looks like using NavigationSuiteScaffold does not allow Edge-to-Edge to function in Android 35. Is that correct or am I missing something?

what do you mean with

does not allow Edge-to-Edge

[Nat Strangerweather]

I mean that my status bar shows as if enableEdgeToEdge() was not there.

do you have a screenshot?

yes, that’s what its supposed to look like. it handles the window insets for you like a usual Scaffold. same for the bottom navigation thats inset by the navigation height.

Ok, I thought that with edge-to-edge the status bar was sort of transparent and that this is the new style recommended by Google. In this screen, I am using a Scaffold with safeContent because the NavigationSuiteScaffold does not appear to handle things like the punch-hole etc. I have a lot of padding as a result... Not sure I am using the whole thing correctly.

[Chrimaeon]

yes, edge-to-edge makes it “transparent” aka you need to draw the content behind the system bars. a scaffold hides that behavior again.

Ah, right, so a scaffold does not allow edge-to-edge, I get it. Thanks for confirming!
