Can't remove space on top of nav_host_fragment

Question

I just implemented a bottom navigation (AS's default - File -> New -> Activity -> Bottom Navigation Activity) Everything is fine except for a space on the top of the nav_host_fragment.

Since it was generated in a ConstraintLayout, I tried to clean the constraints and set the top constraint with parent, setting margin to '0dp' and set height to match_constraint.

I unsuccessfully deleted the constraints and tried over and over again.

I used Clean Project.

I changed to RelativeLayout and set arguments like this:

 <fragment
            android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
            android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_above="@+id/nav_view"
            app:defaultNavHost="true"
            app:navGraph="@navigation/mobile_navigation" />

But the space between nav_host_fragment and the top is still there.

Here's the lyout file:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize">

    <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
            android:id="@+id/nav_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
            app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />

    <fragment
            android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
            android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_above="@+id/nav_view"
            app:defaultNavHost="true"
            app:navGraph="@navigation/mobile_navigation" />

</RelativeLayout>

Remove this line from your Relative Layout.

android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
