Hide status bar in android 4.4+ or kitkat with Fullscreen

Question

I\'m using following code for hiding status bar with full screen purpose:

    void HideEverything(){
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
                    


        

Answer 1

We cannot prevent the status appearing in full screen mode in kitkat or above devices, so try a hack to block the status bar from expanding.

For an idea, put an overlay over status bar and consume all input events. It will prevent the status bar from expanding.
