Answer 1

I have found a simpler solution: Set the DrawerLayout and NavigationView attribute:

android:fitsSystemWindows="false"

and then give marginTop to navigation view as

"?actionBarSize"

maybe your statusbar background will become transparent in that case in styles.xml add

@color/colorPrimaryDark

attribute to get back the normal color or any other color you want...
