How to get rid of white strip at the top of the screen with adjustResize

Question

While the keyboard is open a white strip appears at the top of the screen, and it persists regardless of a keyboard state change.

If I a use adjustPan then it works, however, I want to use adjustResize only.

Here is an image of the problem:

My activity declaration in AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@style/MyTheme"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"/>

<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds" 
          tools:targetApi="lollipop">false</item>
</style>

please put some part of code which related: toolbar or MainActivity xml — Amir, Aug 26 '16 at 05:45
just remove windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds from your theme, why would you want to add that?! — M D P, Aug 30 '16 at 06:52
changing statusbar color is not supported in pre lollipop so if somewhere in your code you are changing it remove it. it's not a good idea for now. — M D P, Aug 30 '16 at 07:18
android:layout_alignParentTop=“true” with the layout having back arrow, textview, and right arrow. Try to set them in LinearLayout — Dipali Shah, Aug 30 '16 at 10:51

There's a technique called Immersive Full-Screen Mode available in KitKat. I think it is now a preferred way to implement a fullscreen Activity.

This is an example from the docs.

Remove this white strip from your activity's layout file. I can't say more as far as you don't provide your layout xml.

I advice you to use Hierarchy Viewer for layout debug.

I have already mention that >> While the keyboard is open a white strip appears at the top of the screen – Hitesh Bhalala Aug 30 '16 at 10:12
@Hits it's hard to give a more precise answer to your question as far as you don't show us the layout xml file. – naXa stands with Ukraine Aug 30 '16 at 10:22
@Hits look for `android:paddingTop` attribute and remove it. – naXa stands with Ukraine Aug 31 '16 at 14:44
