Cannot Access WindowInsets

Question

I am attempting to access the WindowInsets in my app, but I am receiving the following message:

Java.Lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'no static method "Landroid/view/WindowInsets$Type;.statusBars()I"'

The expression in my code containing this is (frmPossibleBids is a FrameLayout):

this.frmPossibleBids.RootWindowInsets.GetInsets(WindowInsets.Type.StatusBars()).Top

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,​

If you want to get WindowInsets, your frmPossibleBids should be attached in the layout.

So, I add a AddOnAttachStateChangeListener for frmPossibleBids, I can get the top value in the OnViewAttachedToWindow method like following code.

   //add AddOnAttachStateChangeListener  
               frmPossibleBids.AddOnAttachStateChangeListener(new FrmPossibleBidsttachStateChangeListener());  
     
   // achieve this AddOnAttachStateChangeListener class.  
   internal class FrmPossibleBidsttachStateChangeListener : Java.Lang.Object, View.IOnAttachStateChangeListener  
       {  
         
           public void OnViewAttachedToWindow(View attachedView)  
           {  
     
             var topValue= attachedView.RootWindowInsets.GetInsets(WindowInsets.Type.StatusBars()).Top;  
           }  
     
           public void OnViewDetachedFromWindow(View detachedView)  
           {  
                 
           }  
       }
