[Bug]: Top app bar dissapears in not top level destinations

[padrecedano]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Is there a StackOverflow question about this issue?

• I have searched StackOverflow

What happened?

In the source code we see a clear intention that the TopAppBar is not displayed in those destinations that do not belong to TopLevelDestination:

            // Show the top app bar on top level destinations.
            val destination = appState.currentTopLevelDestination
            var shouldShowTopAppBar = false

            if (destination != null) {
                shouldShowTopAppBar = true
                NiaTopAppBar(
                    titleRes = destination.titleTextId,
                    navigationIcon = NiaIcons.Search,
                    navigationIconContentDescription = stringResource(
                        id = settingsR.string.feature_settings_top_app_bar_navigation_icon_description,
                    ),

What is the reason for this being mandatory and how can I change it?

In my case, I want to display content from the main menu of the application, and I need that content to have the TopAppBar.

I show two screenshots.

In this second screenshot, when I scroll up, the text blends in with the device bar showing the time:
