In my previous question, I was interested in how to remove the gap between the toolbar and LinearLayout. Good people suggested that you need to install App: elevation = "0dp" in AppBArLayout, and the problem was solved. But the trouble does not come alone, and now, after DrawerLayout has descended under the Toolbar - we have a new gap, the size is much more than the shadow of anything:
And this, notice, the Android Studio template with a curtain, which has not yet had time to make changes, except to lower the curtain under the toolbar.

translusentStatusBarattribute in styles will help. But it's better not to go there - everything is bad with backward compatibility - YuriySPb ♦
