Description
Description
Flatlist ListHeaderComponent together with stickyHeaderIndices={[0]} shows up under items when scrolling, if items have elevation 1 or higher. Seems to only show up on my older device (Android 9), I've tried to fix this with both zIndex and elevation on the header component (also with ListHeaderComponentStyle) but nothing changes.
Steps to reproduce
- open the provided snack with an older device (Android 9), I can't test Android 10 at the moment but when using Android 11 or higher the issue doesn't show up.
- scroll the FlatList
- observe header component

Research direction
Start by reproducing the linked Snack on Android 9 with React Native 0.76.6, using FlatList, stickyHeaderIndices={[0]}, and elevated items; compare the behavior with Android 11 or higher. Trace the Android handling of the sticky header and item elevation, and consider the issue complete when the header remains above elevated items while scrolling on the affected Android versions.
