Safe area always shows nothing..

Answer 1

Hello, english is not my first language, so sorry for any mistakes.

1. In godot install the android assembly template (Project> Install Template ...)

2. In the folder %project%/android/build create folder "res" with hierarchy:

   res:
   ----values
   ----values-v28
   

3. In each folders create "styles.xml"

4. values/styles.xml content:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <resources>
       <style name="DefoldActivityTheme" parent="android:Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
       </style>
   </resources>
   

5. values-v28/styles.xml content:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <resources>
       <style name="DefoldActivityTheme" parent="android:Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
           <item name="android:windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode">
               shortEdges
           </item>
       </style>
   </resources>
   

6. Change the attribute in %project%/android/build/AndroidManifest.xml

   android:theme="@style/DefoldActivityTheme"

7. Now you can compilete and ran app
