Toolbar overlapping below status bar

Question

I want to have appcompat v21 toolbar in my activity. But the toolbar I'm implementing is overlapping below status bar. How can I fix it?

Here is the activity layout xml:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:orientation="vertical">      <include         android:id="@+id/toolbar"         layout="@layout/toolbar" />      <FrameLayout         android:id="@+id/container"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="0dp"         android:layout_weight="1" /> </LinearLayout> 

Toolbar view:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/toolbar"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"     android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" /> 

Theme style:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="MaterialNavigationDrawerTheme.Light.DarkActionBar">     <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>     <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>     <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item> </style> 

Answer 1

Use android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in the root view of your layout (LinearLayout in your case). And android:fitsSystemWindows is an

internal attribute to adjust view layout based on system windows such as the status bar. If true, adjusts the padding of this view to leave space for the system windows. Will only take effect if this view is in a non-embedded activity.

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol fitsSystemWindows.
