Going edge-to-edge with Gesture Navigation
summary
Android Q makes apps draw behind system bars and adds gesture nav plus new inset APIs: use WindowInsetsCompat and onApplyWindowInsets to add padding, set flags (layoutStable, layoutHideNavigation, layoutFullscreen), and set navigation bar color transparent; use setSystemGestureExclusionRects to supply exclusion rects but the system clamps them to a 200 dp limit per edge; target SDK 29 enables scrim behavior; update RecyclerView (clipToPadding=false) and peak bottom sheets using system gesture insets.
