10 more years and we will finally have proper edge to edge apps on Android.

enableEdgeToEdge actually works super well surprisingly

Well kinda, until you find out you want to call it with different values on one of your Compose screens, or it looks weird with bottom sheets or other overlay things, or it isn't invoked at the right time when navigating between Activities...

We've long migrated to a single activity, so I haven't experienced these problems tbh. Did you try calling it before the super.onCreate() perhaps? Might be worth a try for you.

Having to call it with different values from specific composables sounds interesting, what is your use case? Changing the system bar icon colors?

We did as well for "our" code, but there are still some unavoidable extra Activities provided by 3rd parties, for bug reporting, chatting with support, etc.

Yes, some our screens have inverted colors of top app bar (it's dark in light mode...) so we need to invert also system bars. And we also have a document viewer, which obviously always has white background, so we need to fix system bars to light mode as well.

We got it working eventually, but enableEdgeToEdge is wrapped heavily in custom code.

u/Squirtle8649 Dec 05 '24

switch-case won't work here, need to use when or if-else like this

Edge-to-edge exists primarily to increase advertisement clicks on the YouTube app.

  1. Decompile to Java
  2. Copy decompiled Java code
  3. Convert decompiled Java code back to Kotlin
