Android L ActionBarActivity using Feinstein SldingMenu and AppCompat v21 is cut off at bottom of the screen

Question

I'm using AppCompat v21 with the Style "NoActionBar" and add a Action/Toolbar in onCreate.

Also a SlidingMenu of Feinstein is added and that causes the problem that the that the Activity (and therefore the inside Fragments) overlap with the navigation buttons of Android (it is not fully shown, cut off at the bottom)

if i add:

android:layout_marginBottom="48dp"

in the layout it everything is visible (of course).

On Android 4.4. everything is shown properly.

What am I missing on Android L using the support lib?

SlidingMenu added in onCreate:

super.onCreate(..)
setContentView(..)

menu = new SlidingMenu(this);
menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_MARGIN);
menu.attachToActivity(this, SlidingMenu.SLIDING_WINDOW);
menu.setMenu(R.layout.menu);
menu.setBehindWidthRes(200dp);

Adding the following lines to the SlidingMenu constructors has worked for me. I didn't have to make any other code changes.

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)
    setSystemUiVisibility(SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION)
