Samsung Galaxy Android Nav Bar

[scott at elementarysoftware.com]

I’m having trouble with the on-screen Navigation Bar at the bottom of the Android screen not being detected correctly on some devices (Samsung Galaxy S22 for instance). When positioning controls based on < the working screenRect > I end up with app controls that I position at the bottom of the screen being partially obscured by the Android NavBar. (I did also try < effective working screenRect > just in case but that didn’t help either… just like it wasn’t supposed to  :- )

I suppose this may have been an issue for a long time and I’ve just never noticed. It doesn’t seem to show up on any of the Android Studio simulators and I only have a couple of older physical android devices to test against, which also work as expected. I only recently noticed it on a friends newer Samsung device and then was able to test against it further using the Samsung developer portal which includes a nice “remote test lab” <https://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/devices/125/galaxy-s>

Any suggestions (or commiseration) would be welcome.
