I'm trying to hide the navigation bar, using methods I've found described on the internet.
I have a simple layout which shows a WebView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:id="@+id/layout" >
<WebView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
The code that I'm using at app startup is:
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN);
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE);
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
web.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
layout.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
But this doesn't hide the navigation bar.
I've added...
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
... to my activity too.
How can I achieve this?
You cannot permanently hide the system bar on a tablet.
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
on Android 4.1 and higher will hide the system bar, but it will reappear as soon as the user does anything.
