I was just testing my app on Pixel3 XL emulator and noticed that the app bar is covered by the bezel. I thought the flutter framework handles this for app bar own its own.
Is there a way to fix this? I also looked at SafeArea but that probably would make me to manage the app bar on all the pages of BottomNavigationBar.
This is an issue with the emulator, not Flutter. If you open Chrome on the emulator you will see that it's also covered by the notch. You can also drag from the notch and the notification's pane will be dragged down, even thought it shouldn't be possible.
You can fix this though. Open the Android settings, go to to the About phone section and tap on the Build Number 7 times, to enable developer mode. Once that's done, in Settings, go to the System section, open Advanced and go to Developer options. Tap the Display cutout option and select Tall cutout. This will adjust the OS to account for the notch.

We are trying to use the Kiosk mode feature of SOTI MobiControl to run our application on a kiosk. We are currently testing on a Zebra TC52 (an Android device) until we get our Elo kiosks.
We’ve set up a profile for our app that uses the Lockdown configuration. It “kind of” works, but isn’t quite doing what we expect.
When we power on the machine, it comes up in the normal startup screen. If I swipe up, then it takes us to our app screen. However, the status bar is showing, and can be pulled down.
However, if I click on the Home button, then the status bar goes away, and we’re closer to where we wanted to be. There is still a back button at the bottom of the screen.
We were hoping:
That when the machine starts, it would immediately go to our app screen, instead of requiring someone to swipe up to get the app to start.
That there would be no status bar, or bottom icons.
This app will be customer facing, so we want our app, and only our app, to ever show on the screen.
I’m not sure if any of these limitations are specifically because we’re using a TC52 instead of an actual kiosk device, but to my mind, they’re both just Android devices.
I have included screen shots of our configuration and the results on the device.
Can anyone see anything we are missing? Or are we expecting too much from the SOTI configuration for kiosks?
at least to disable the Lock Screen you can use the free Zebra StageNow tool (https://www.zebra.com/de/de/support-downloads/software/utilities/stagenow.html).
You can create a lot of device specific setting, just check https://techdocs.zebra.com/mx/ for the setting to disable the swipe lock screen.
in StageNow you can, after finish the Profile, export the Config for MDM
(upper right corner)
In Soti Mobicontrol u can use a script within Packages, Filesync, or direct on Device
mxconfig /sdcard/yoursetting.xm
to import the Setting to the Devices.
Depending on your Soti MC Version there are also some Settings available in the Lockdown Setting Profile to disable the Notification Bar, maybe also u can find some other usefull Settings in the MX Matrix..

Tracker apps with accessibility feature is shown as permanent floating icon on the home screen when I updated my phone OS to Android 12 on Google Pixel 3A. It can't be removed without disabling accessibility. Is there anyway to not show the icon without disabling any app feature?
Hello there I had the same issue and I have the answer now:
Go to accessibility
Go to the app(s) which is shown on your side
there is one option to disable the app and underneath is an option to disable the little Icon.
The feature is to quickly enable or disable these apps. For example you can quickly disable your password manager or anything like this.
Have a great day!
Hey I'm a web developer and I'm looking for a way to emulate mobile devices which also displays their respective navigation bars, toolbars etc. In the 'Device toolbar' in Google Chrome (v58 on macOS) there's a specific mode available for the Nexus 5X (and 'supported devices', according to Google), which is exactly what I'm looking for (see screenshot below), however I can't seem to find a way to turn this on for other devices (such as iPhones, Galaxys etc).
Of course these bars would differ between the devices and the browser that it's running, so ideally I'm looking for a way to manually specify the height of the bars and how they interact with the viewport (e.g. iOS Safari includes the top bar in the viewport height calculation but leaves out the bottom bar, which kinda screws with how the bottom of the page is being displayed (as discussed here)).
Ultimately what I'm trying to achieve is a way to accurately simulate how a website would look on a specific device, by instead of looking at just screen sizes and pixel density actually taking in to account that there are other sections being displayed on the screen which of course takes up screen realestate themselves and affect the appearance and user experience.
All ideas are welcome =)
You can use Blisk browser, it's built on Chromium and supports toolbars and panels for IOS/Android devices, it has a good set of devices that you can emulate on.
I have an android app which does run full screen .. done by the mainifest file
Works fine on units with seperate buttons like Samsung s3
Now running the same app on another unit without physical buttoms they will apear in the buttom of the screen see the red cirkel on attached image
I need a hint to remove this bar in code?

You cannot remove this bar for security and usability reasons.
Doing so would make it impossible for the user to exit your app naturally, as both the back and the home button will disappear. Not only is this terrible for usability and system consistency, but it also poses a security risk as malicious apps can take over the system by removing the bar.
I'm trying to make my app to Fullscreen (with no any bar) how I can coding to set it. (Android version 4.0.3)
Thx very Much
You can't hide that bar. On Honeycomb(3.0) there was a bug that would allow it to be hidden(on a rooted device), but it was fixed in ICS(4.0). (Note: see this answer for more techniques that worked on 3.0)As of now there is no way to do it on 4.0. Unfortunately, because devices no longer have physical buttons the navigation buttons (home and back) have to be put onto the screen. Because that bar contains the navigation buttons if you were to hide it, it would be possible to "lock" the user out of the device by not allowing them to leave your application(at least until they rebooted into safe mode).
So if you want to do that you'll have to make your own custom version of the OS to allow for it.
