I want to make my application go fullscreen in any android device. Hide the Title bar and also the notification bar. The application is supposed to run on a 10 inch tablet on Android 4.0.3. I am using the following code but only the title bar disappears. I want to hide the notification bar also. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong in my code ?
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
The thing holding the navigation buttons back and home, time, network information etc is referred to as "navigation" bar.
You can not hide it within the given framework, but it is possible if rooting the device is an option for you:
In HideBar there is an option to run in 'Kiosk' mode, in which there is no way to re-display the navigation bar. Needless to say, you really need to be careful with this.
