Remove grey padding on top of android layout

Issue

I added a NavigationView to my fragment and the drawer had an unnecessary grey top padding, I managed to remove this by adding app:insetForeground="@null" to it.

Now my layout is left with the top grey padding and I can’t seem to remove it with the same method I used for the drawer.

How can I remove this top grey part?

Solution

In styles.xml change from:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

to

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

PS: I saw your question at work but couldn’t response earlier. That’s why I write this answer, the specific could help others (with less coding experience) in the future. Cheers 🙂
