Open dropdown triggers navigation bar showing and overlay doesn't cover whole view

[harryfos]

Android specific:

On the app I'm working on the view covers the entire screen, with the navigation bar being transparent.

Originally when opening the dropdown the navigation bar would turn black however I realised that because of the use of the RN modal I had to set the navgiationBarColor to match transparent in the styles.xml and then the modal would inherit it. (This is the line I added inside AppTheme): <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>

However the overlay doesn't cover the navigation bar area so it results in the view looking like this:

Is it possible to extend the overlay? I presume it's because the modal is not covering this area.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
