Edited to add more details: (originally asked nearly two months ago...still haven\'t found a solution)
I have an activity with a somewhat complicate
In my case this behavior was triggered by resume from lock screen. No idea why but after adding empty overloaded function it was fixed (but I tested it only on my HTC Wilfire). It may be a different bug thou.
@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
/* Workaround a probable Android bug with fullscreen activities:
* on resume status bar hides and black margin stays,
* reproducible half of the time when coming back from lock screen
* (tested on HTC Wildfire)
* No idea why but this empty overload method fixed it.
*/
