Android navigation view has a row on top that won't go

Question

I'm making a activity with a navigation view, and in the drawer I keep getting a grey line at the top (before all menu items) which I can't figure out how to remove. I've tried everything but I'm unsuccessful...

Example Picture

My navigation view element

<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:menu="@menu/navigation_menu"
            android:background="@color/White"
            android:layout_gravity="start|top"

    app:itemBackground="@drawable/nav_item_background"
            app:itemTextColor="@drawable/nav_item_text"
            android:id="@+id/navigation"/>

I tried searching all over and found nothing. So I've tried with no items, and I've also tried using the layout inspector to find the cause for this line, but nothing pointed to the line :/ — atlow apps, Aug 15 '19 at 18:44
I got it fixed. I put the navigation view in the coordinator layout, turns out it won't work properly when inside it... — atlow apps, Aug 15 '19 at 20:33

Try putting this in dimens.xml

<dimen name="design_navigation_padding_top_default" tools:override="true">0dp</dimen>
<dimen name="design_navigation_separator_vertical_padding" tools:override="true">0dp</dimen>
<dimen name="design_navigation_padding_bottom" tools:override="true">0dp</dimen>
