BottomNavigationView jumps up leaving blank space when fullscreen

Question

For a BottomNavigationView's last tab, I want the content to be below the status bar and make the status bar completely transparent. This works as expected but the BottomNavigationView jumps up leaving a blank space in the bottom when the last tab is selected.

There were similar topics in SO that said to set fitWindowSystems to false. I tried it, but it is not helping.

ExplorerFragment.java

public class ExplorerFragment extends Fragment {

    public ExplorerFragment() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            Window window = getActivity().getWindow();
            window.getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
                    View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE |
                            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR
                            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
                            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE);
            window.setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), android.R.color.transparent));
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            View decor = getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView();
            decor.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_explorer, container, false);
    }

}

Answer 1

It may be useful for those who face a problem in the future. I solved this issue just by adding

ViewCompat.requestApplyInsets(view)

to my fragment's onActivityCreated method. view - fragment's root view

in my case it looks like:

KOTLIN

    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState)
        view?.let {
            ViewCompat.requestApplyInsets(it)
        }
    } 

JAVA

 @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
            View view = getView()
            if(view != null){
                ViewCompat.requestApplyInsets(view)
            }
        }

Update (6/27/2020): Since onActivityCreated method is deprecated on SDK >=29 you could use the code above inside onViewCreated method:

override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    ViewCompat.requestApplyInsets(view)
}
