Hide status bar on android - android

I am trying to hide the status bar. I have tried the following things.
This is for phones. I realize tablets can be different. It does hide the status bar when the layout has a bottom Tab. any ideas?
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
In the Manifest.XML I have added the above code.
And in the onCreate() I have added the followingin the right place:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
// hide statusbar of Android
// could also be done later
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

Android fullscreen activity with action bar

what theme should I use to hide the notification bar but show the action bar? (Like calculator on Samsung phones)
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Use this with Theme holo
**you have to do it through coding add this before setContentView() **

Hide status bar when using a YoutubeFragment (YoutubePlayer android API)

I have a fullscreen project, and am hiding the statusbar using
getWindow ().setFlags (WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
in the main activity's onCreate.
This works, and hides the status bar just fine, until I add a YoutubeFragment and play a video. The moment the video loads, the status bar drops down, very annoying. I tried setting the flags all over the onInitializationSuccess listener, but no dice. The documentation doesn't mention the status bar on any non-full screen layout changes at all: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubePlayerFragment
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know if you can put in manifest to hide action bar.
But try this function of Activity class
getActionBar().hide();
I was using a android 4.4.2 device to test with. With 4.1+ or higher there's another way to hide the status bar dynamically : http://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/status.html#41
//4.1+ Specific hiding of status bar
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
I do not have the problem with the status bar popping up when adding a YoutubeFragment. Why the old code didn't work with YoutubeFragments, or even setting the Theme to
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"
, I have no idea though.

Android: Settings button removed for Full ScreenActivity

Apparently when you make the activity full screen on android it removed the three dots at the top which I used for my settings.
I currently it set to full screen like the following:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Is there another way I can have my activity fullscreen and still access my inflateable menu?
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); says "get rid of the action bar". Your overflow (" three dots at the top") was in the action bar.
Either:
Get rid of requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);, or
Create your own menu system, as part of the UI of the activity, rather than relying upon the action bar overflow

How to hide the Status Bar?

I am trying to hide the status bar. I have tried the following things.
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
In the Manifest.XML I have added the above code.
And in the onCreate() I have added the following:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
// hide statusbar of Android
// could also be done later
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
But still I am unable to hide the status bar. Can anyone help?
The approaches you've taken would work on 2.3.X
But if you are talking about 4.0 tablets this is the code
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout);
layout.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
If you're talking about a tablet you cannot get rid of the system bar but I suggest you look at this question:

Just make sure that you are writing above code lines before the line setContentView()?

android how to hide the status bar without hiding the title bar

In my application i am working with canvas. I am drawing on canvas. I put canvas color as white. When my app open the canvas is visible along with above status bar.
But i want my canvas should take the full screen. means that Notification status bar should disapear when i run that app bt not the title bar(bcz i m using some custom title bar)
How can i do that?
By using below code i gave custom title,
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
Now i am trying to hide status bar using below code in activity-
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
and in AndroidManifest.xml
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
But it shows force close.
Give me a way how to do that?
It's enough to remove the line
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
But if you want to display full screen (without action bar) write too
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_location_eb);
You can't use Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE after setting Theme.NoTitleBar. It's enough to use just this theme. Do not set all these flags in code.
EDIT: Seems I misunderstood your question. I read it again carefully and now I see you're asking about Android 2.x and its notification bar. Your onCreate() method should look like this:
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.name);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
You mustn't set Theme.NoTitleBar or Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen for this activity. Just use the default Theme or don't specify any theme at all.
Am going to tell you how to tackle the title bar and the system notification panel individually and perfectly.
Use one or both as per Your Need.
1.Do not apply any theme to the Activity through XML.
2.Now, go the corr. Java file and add these lines
inside onCreate()..
after super.onCreate()..
Part.a. to remove just Title Bar
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
Part.b. to remove the System notification panel
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Do not forget to follow them with the usual
setContentView(R.layout.activity_layout_name);
