I have created a new bottom navigation activity using the android studio wizard. The problem seems to be the activity_main layout. The fragment view isn't extending to the top of the screen, but instead it's covered by the bottom navigation bar.
No matter what I do, I can't move it up.
That's the XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
<fragment
android:id="#+id/nav_host_fragment_activity_main"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/nav_view"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="#navigation/mobile_navigation" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Remove the below padding from the root layout:
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
You need to set
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
to switch from "normal sizing" to "apply constraint sizing"

All my Android fragment layouts seem to be offset by the navbar height. This also means they get covered at the bottom by the tab bar. What am I doing wrong?
Examples:
I'm not sure what code you want to see; most of it came straight out of Android Studio. And apparently I can't post it all here at once - "It looks like your post is mostly code." :(

exchange android:layout_height="match_parent" set for <fragment to android:layout_height="0dp", allow constraints to to their job, attach fragment above bottom nav. currently looks like app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/nav_view" isn't making your Fragment appear above bottom nav, instead its fulfilling whole Activity, even space under bottom nav
top spacing is probably introduced by android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize" line set for root element, just remove this line
btw. there is a dev option "show layout bounds", it will show you where your views/fragments are placed
When creating a new app in Android Studio, using the Bottom Navigation Activity, I've found that having things in the bottom of the fragment will not be shown, because the BottomNavigationView is hiding it. For example, I added a button to the fragment_home.xml file, and constrained it to the bottom of the fragment.
I've tried setting the layout_width and layout_height of the fragment to both match_parent and wrap_content but neither changed anything. I fiddled with constraints for both the BottomNavigationView and the fragment, but that also didn't change anything. Any help would be appreciated.
So here's the activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
<fragment
android:id="#+id/nav_host_fragment_activity_main"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/nav_view"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="#navigation/mobile_navigation" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
And here's the fragment_home.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".ui.home.HomeFragment">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_home"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textSize="20sp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
If you launch android studio and create a new app using the bottom navigation activity example, and replace these two xml files, you'll see the issue I'm having.
B'h
Hello and good day to everyone,
I had the same problem, the solution that worked for me was changing the layout height in the activity_main.xml file:
From : android:layout_height="match_parent" ,
To : android:layout_height="0dp".
Once you set constraints for the fragment height, if you leave it on 'match parent' and not set to "0", it will ignore the constraints you set.
<fragment
android:id="#+id/nav_host_fragment_activity_main"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/nav_view"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="#navigation/mobile_navigation" />
One possible solution I've found is that I could add android:paddingBottom="56dp" to the fragment_home.xml file:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="56dp"
tools:context=".ui.home.HomeFragment">
...
However that doesn't really answer what I want to know - which is why the fragment view doesn't respect the constraints that I give it..
I have a fragment view in my activity main layout, but i can´t put it on the whole layout, I have also bottom mobile navigation, but the problem is at the top of the layout.
With an image is better:
activity_main.xml
The code of that layout is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
<fragment
android:id="#+id/nav_host_fragment_activity_main"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/nav_view"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="#navigation/mobile_navigation" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
How can I fix that? In the fragment I have a recyclerview
In Your constraintlayout
Remove this Attribute
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
your fragment get full layout size.
Just use LinearLayout with <fragment height=0dp weight=1<fragment
I created an Android project in Intellij with the buttom nav template.
I can not use a certain space on the top (see screenshot) which corelates in size with the buttom nav bar, even though the constrains seem to be right.
As well it hides/converes elements which are placed under it, actually there is a TextView and a spinner.

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
You have to remove the fragment height from wrap_content to 0dp i.e match_constraint (match_parent)
match_constraint or 0dp : The view expands as much as possible to meet the constraints on each side (after accounting for the view's margins).
Chain: A chain is a group of views that are linked to each other with bi-directional position constraints. The views within a chain can be distributed either vertically or horizontally. For your case we need a Vertical Chain. See video
And last I remove the android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize" from you ConstraintLayout
Try the below code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/nav_view"

app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="#navigation/mobile_navigation" />
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/nav_host_fragment_activity_main"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Remove
android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
from your root ConstraintLayout.
I have created Bottom Navigation Activity in Android Studio. Now I'm adapting all layouts to my needs but I have a severe problem with removing that margin between nav_host_fragment and it's parent which is Constraint Layout. This causes the layout of all fragments to be displayed with an unwanted offset or a margin.

The layout is defined as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
The android:paddingTop in your constraint layout is the cause of your issue, remove it and you must be good to go.
Try the following,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- child view remains the same -->
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
