Can't remove space on top of nav_host_fragment

Remove this line from your Relative Layout.

android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize"

Answer from @Mike

That looks like the android:paddingTop="?attr/actionBarSize" on the

 <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"
        >

    <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>
