How to prevent status bar from showing in fullscreen mode on click - android

I use the code below to enable fullscreen mode:
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
);
At android 5 all is ok, but at android 4.3 status bar (and nav bar) are opened afrer 'click' action on any button, so I need to tap twice.
How to prevent this control from showing on onClick?

Simply add
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
in your manifest.

Nativescript -- Hide Android Status Bar in Alerts and Dialogs

Our N/Angular app is running in full screen mode. When an alert or a dialog is opened the previously hidden status bar reappears. Is there a way to hide the status bar on alerts/dialogs?
Here is the code we use to set to full screen mode:
const View = android.view.View;
const window = androidApp.startActivity.getWindow();
const decorView = window.getDecorView();
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION |
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN |
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
);
For anyone wondering, in Native Script Angular wrapping the dialog component with a Page tag and adding [actionBarHidden]="true" resolves the problem if your dialog content is below you Navigation bar on android, and also adds a background on iOS.

How to permanently hide navigation bar in android application?

I have a problem hiding navigation bar at the bottom of the screen in android.
Every solution I've tried doesn't work exactly as I want it to work, except one.
Modifying build.prop with new entry 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=1' worked ok, but it disables navigation bar for whole android system.
Is there possibility to disable navigation bar like this only for one app?
Try this:
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
(Source)
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
Use this code in onCreate(), it will hide status bar and navigation bar until users swipe down from top of the screen

How to hide the navigation bar in android?

so i'm writing an app in which i would like the navigation bar in a specific
activity to be hidden...and i managed to do so...but my problem is when the
user scrolls down the notification bar...when that happens...the navigation bar
re-appears...how can i solve this problem?
final int mUIFlag = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
//View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION;
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(mUIFlag);
when the user scrolls down the notification bar...when that happens...the navigation bar re-appears
I think this behavior is normal and intended as UI design of Android.
Whenever a user swipes-down upper edge or swipes-up bottom edge of screen, both system bar and navigation bar re-appear. Then after a few seconds, they are both disappear again. So as to the user can access system bar or navigation bar whenever they want even if screen is in immersive mode.
can i do anything to disable this? or maybe only hide it
No, generally (without root access) you can't. Only you can do is to hide it. Please refer to these StackOverflow Q&As: Permanently hide navigation bar on activity; Hide System Bar in Tablets.

How to disable naviagation bar in Android LockScreen App like CM locker and OS8 lock screen

I tried setting systemUIView(View.GONE) and use Immersive Full-Screen Mode. But users can always get the naviagtion bar back by touching the bottom of the screen. The apps i mentioned above are able to hide it without root or setting default launcher.
Okay, I found a solution finally and here is how it's done:
Use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY to hide the navigation bar as follow, you may put the code inside onResume of your activity
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION |View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
Then, add a system error window using WindowManger and overlay it on top of everything
you can put this unescapable view anywhere you like, but if you want to do it while users locked the screen, add this flag:
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
Et voilĂ 
Well I've never achieved this but it seems that you will need to set some other flags to get this kind of view :
When you use the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE flag, it hides the system bars based on what other UI flags you have set (SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION, SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN, or both). When the user swipes inward in a system bars region, the system bars reappear and remain visible.
Here is a snippet that you can use to set these flags :
// This snippet hides the system bars.
private void hideSystemUI() {
// Set the IMMERSIVE flag.
// Set the content to appear under the system bars so that the content
// doesn't resize when the system bars hide and show.
mDecorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION // hide nav bar
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN // hide status bar
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE);
}
// This snippet shows the system bars. It does this by removing all the flags
// except for the ones that make the content appear under the system bars.
private void showSystemUI() {
mDecorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);
}
For more information go check Using Immersive Full-screen Mode from the android developer website.
Hope this help.

How to hide navigation bar when i press action bar menu in Android

I hide the navigation bar (see below) but when I press the menu button on action bar the navigation bar immediately appear.
Can I hide nav. bar permanently?
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE |
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION |
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION |
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fomenu);
}
Take a look at the documentation. It says to hide the navigation use
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
You're already doing that. But then it says
With this approach, touching anywhere on the screen causes the navigation bar (and status bar) to reappear and remain visible. The user interaction causes the flags to be be cleared. Once the flags have been cleared, your app needs to reset them if you want to hide the bars again. See Responding to UI Visibility Changes for a discussion of how to listen for UI visibility changes so that your app can respond accordingly.
This means that you will have to reset the flags when the user selects the options menu. A sample code is also given here.
