Answer 1

Chris Banes gist shows a nice Helper Class we can use to set the immersive mode for all Versions from HoneyComb to Lollipop https://gist.github.com/chrisbanes/73de18faffca571f7292.

Update: I tried get it from his github repo to include in my project, but i had to clone the gist files into my project and adjsut the packagename. If someone knows how to include it properly as a dependency, u r welcome to help me.

I added it in my FullScreenActivity i want to use the ImmersiveStickyMode like this:

@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
    super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);

        final int flags = 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
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY;

        SystemUiHelper uiHelper =  new SystemUiHelper(this, SystemUiHelper.LEVEL_IMMERSIVE ,flags);
        uiHelper.hide();



}
