Hi All, i'm working on wrapping a library for a client, while testing I noticed that when the app is launched there are two additional icons on the Bottom Navigation Bar, I've never seen those when creating an app before, how can I get rid of those two extra icons, i'm not doing anything special, in fact the Project I created with Android Studio to test the SDK i am trying to wrap doesn't show those icons.

Why am i seeing those icons now?

How can we guess it? You are not providing any useful information.

Is the app is using any specific theme or something special in the Manifest or their layoutfiles?

PD: I never saw such Icons in my Navbar. Maybe a special feature of this specific device?

That's the thing, i'm not doing anything special, it's just a regular B4A android project as any other, i have not added any special things to the manifest file, the only time i've seen those icons is when I'm playing a game, but this app i'm working on is not a game.

If I compile any other app, i don't see those icons.

What happens when you press one of the buttons?
When I press the bottom left button I see this:

When I press on the bottom right button, the screen gets locked!

As I mentioned, If I compile any other app i don't see those buttons/icons, my manifest file looks like this:
AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>
android:installLocation="auto")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
'''CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.DarkTheme)

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/LightTheme")
CreateResource(values, colors.xml,
<resources>
<color name="actionbar">#ff039be5</color>
<color name="statusbar">#fffc00</color>
<color name="textColorPrimary">#000000</color>
<color name="navigationBar">#ff006db3</color>
</resources>
)

''#fffc00
CreateResource(values-v20, theme.xml,
<resources>
<style name="LightTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/actionbar</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/statusbar</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">@color/navigationBar</item>
</style>
</resources>
)
CreateResource(values-v14, theme.xml,
<resources>
<style name="LightTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/CustomActionBarStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomActionBarStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">@color/actionbar</item>
</style>
</resources>
)

Any thoughts?

Looks like an Feature of the GameBooster App!?
?‍♂️
Bro, I know, my question is how to I get rid of that, and why do I only see it on this specific project, there's nothing special, my main layout only has a ActoolBarLight and a button, i don't even have any other code yet, i'm just loading the layout.

I think it's android system option.

On my Android 10, it usually comes when am playing a game or an app is in fullscreen mode
Exactly, I've only seen it when I'm playing a game, but this app i'm working one is not a game, and there's nothing special added in the manifest file, see above for the manifest file entries.

Maybe because your app was full-screen, it added itself to the game-booster?
