I have a fullscreen drawing app that disables the title and status bars using the Android Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen theme. One of the requests I am getting would be the ability to have these UI elements set to auto-hide, such that is the user touches near where they would be, they are shown. I can imagine ways to accomplish this using a custom Activity that emulates the title bar, but replacing the notification bar just isn't feasible.
So, just wondering if there is any way to auto-hide the OS standard title and status bars. I would imagine this is NO, as these elements look to be tied to the Activity in onCreate (or inflated from XML in onCreate), so once active, it wouldn't be possible to change their behavior.

None that I have seen.
Moreover, what your user is requesting can't be done generically -- what if there is a Button up "near where they would be"?
