Fullscreen Activity in Android?

Question

How do I make an activity full screen? I mean without the notification bar. Any ideas?

Answer 1

After a lot of time with no success I came with my own solution which is quit similar with another developer. So If somebody needs her it is.My problem was that system navigation bar was not hiding after calling. Also in my case I needed landscape, so just in case comment that line and that all. First of all create style

This is my manifest file

This is my spalsh activity

public class Splash extends Activity {
/** Duration of wait **/
private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH = 2000;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash_creen);

    /* New Handler to start the Menu-Activity
     * and close this Splash-Screen after some seconds.*/
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
        @Override
        public void run() {
            /* Create an Intent that will start the Menu-Activity. */
            Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Splash.this,MainActivity.class);
            Splash.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
            Splash.this.finish();
        }
    }, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH);
}

}

And this is my main full screen activity. onSystemUiVisibilityChange thi method is quit important otherwise android main navigation bar after calling will stay and not disappear anymore. Really irritating problem, but this function solves that problem.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private View mContentView;
@Override
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();

    mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.fullscreen2);
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar != null)
    {
        actionBar.hide();
    }
    mContentView = findViewById(R.id.fullscreen_content_text);
    mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);



    View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    decorView.setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener
            (new View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility)
                {
                    System.out.println("print");

                    if ((visibility & View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) == 0)
                    {
                        mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
                    }
                    else
                    {

                        mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

                        }
                }
            });

}

}

This is my splash screen layout:
