I will give my ICS tablets for users to complete a survey so I would like the user to work with my app only. They should not be able to switch to the home screen, press back buttons etc., so I would like to hide the system bar completely.
My tablet is rooted and I know some application like this can help me, but I don't need all the extra functions of this app.
I found this tutorial that could help me, but if I can add the code to do my own, it would be great.
HideBar has a kiosk mode especially for this use case.
A free download is available at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/. You can also find it in the market at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.hidebar.
If you want to incorporate it in your own test/survey application you can always contact the developer (see the links for an email). The code could be explained or an Intent to do the hiding could be provided.
