When I select an item and reopen the drawer with sticky Header, spaces appear next to the items

About this issue

• Hi, I am starting a new project, I implement the Drawer with a header using stickyHeaderView. At this point when I start the app I see that a space appears between the header and the first item and also that only when I select an item and reopen the drawer do spaces appear next to the items, as shown in the image.

Details

• [8.2.0 ] Used library version

@cristhian-sn is this problem reproducible in the sample app?

[ciansanz]

Yes, I put a sticky header in sample app and..

I can confirm, I'm facing the same issue, that only happens when the sticky header is used.
val headerItem = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.nav_header, null)
drawer.stickyHeaderView = headerItem

@mikepenz Hi, the 8.3.0 release fixes the problem with the padding top, but I have tried the sample app in this version and the problem with the shadow is still there, maybe it is not appreciated because of the dark theme but it is there. As I mentioned earlier this is only seen when you open and close the drawer. You can better appreciate it with a light theme.

@cristhian-sn I checked it with light theme actually on a Pixel 5 with Android 11 but didn't see it anymore then :/

I could reproduce it first but afterwards it would be fine. Will give it another pair of eyes. :/

@mikepenz Maybe the android version :d ? I have seen it in android 9 and 10. I will check it in android 11 ..

@mikepenz I test it on an emulator with android 11 and the shadow keeps appearing :(
