WebView to Hide Status and System Bar and displaying complete screen I followed these steps.

AndroidManifest.xml

MainActivity.java

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(0x10);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String url = "http://edition.cnn.com/";
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Desktop");
webView.loadUrl(url);

The above process worked for me and my app is displayed in complete screen.
