Does this library work on KitKat and below? about insetter HOT 4 CLOSED

Depends what you mean by work. Inset handling on KitKat and below is rarely needed, so it gracefully ignores.

What do you need to happen on KitKat and below?

Thank you for your reply.

My English is not very good, and I may not express it well.

The "work" I mean is when I enable drawing behind the navigation bar with View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE and View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION flags, and use Insetter.setOnApplyInsetsListener() method to add padding to views, whether their content will not be displayed behind the navigation bar on KitKat and below.

My project's minSDKVersion is 19 now, I am also wondering if I need to upgrade it to 21.

On KitKat, the only way to draw behind the status is by using the android:windowTranslucentNavigation and android:windowTranslucentStatus attributes in your theme. Generally apps should avoid these and use android:statusBarColor, etc available in API 21 instead.

At the same time, Insetter relies on WindowInsetsCompat, which only works on API 21+ (you can use it before API 21 fine, but it doesn't do anything). I'm afraid the effort to support KitKat is too much to make it worth it.

So summary, you can safely keep your minSdkVersion as 19, but only draw behind the status bar on API 21+.

Ok, thank you!
