Android 4.4 KitKat translucent system bar issues

[afollestad]

If you use the translucent status bar on Android 4.4 KitKat with the android:fitsSystemWindows theme attribute, AppMsges are shown above the action bar in the status bar area and you can't see much of them.

Use setLayoutParams :)

[kiratheone]

how do that @matthew-reilly

[matthew-reilly]

appMsg.setLayoutParams(getParams());

 /**
     * The new theme requires some layout tweaking for croutons
     */
    public FrameLayout.LayoutParams getParams() {
        FrameLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
                LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        layoutParams.setMargins(0, getSupportActionBar().getHeight(), 0, 0);
        return layoutParams;
    }

Works for top. Not works for the bottom of the screen (transparent navbar). setMargins(0, 0, 0, MARGIN_FOR_BOTTOM);
