Button doesn't fully stick to bottom of screen in constraint layout

I constrain a button to the bottom of the screen, but unfortunately there is a small gap between the bottom border of the screen and the bottom border of the buttom:

enter image description here

My XML:

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 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:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/navigationTabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:tabMinWidth="100dp"
        app:tabRippleColor="@null"
        />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:text="BUTTON"
        android:layout_margin="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/fragmentContainer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/navigationTabs" />


</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

What causes this gap? And how can I get rid of it?

add this code to <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout ...> and <button ...>:

android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"


add this code to <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout ...> and <LinearLayout ...> and <button ...>:

app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"


add this code to <button ...>:

It's the shadow around the button of the default background. Specify your own background and the gap will disappear. For example:

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:background="#A4ABA4"
    android:text="BUTTON"
    android:layout_margin="0dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>
