how to hide bottom black area when entering new activity from top of screen

Question

I am entering a new activity from top to bottom, while keeping the old still. Everything works fine, except that there is a black area at the bottom of the new entering activity, which does not look very nice (see the picture). The theme I am using is "Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"

I suppose it is the space assigned to cope with the bottom navigation bar. Is it possible to avoid this?

code of what? Layout, java source...? – xagutxu Oct 12 '16 at 10:49 — xagutxu, Oct 12 '16 at 10:49

Set a translucent theme for your activity , android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" OR Add an exit animation too.

I need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with the activity – xagutxu Oct 12 '16 at 11:11
