Gary Milne Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 29, 2014 #1 Is it possible to prevent the System Notification bar from displaying when swiping down from the top of the screen. I would like to be able to use the initial X location of the swipe to determine the user intent, sort of like a menu without buttons. The Notification bar dropping down each time is a real visual distraction. Any suggestions appreciated.

Gary Milne Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 1, 2014 #3 Thanks for the response Erel. After reviewing the link you provided I think it's something best to be avoided at the present time. I was hoping to use swiping across the edges of the screen as a type of gesture control for an application that requires fast input. Of course I can still use the left and right edges so it may be worth pursuing, however my app is best in Landscape mode so I'm left with the short edges. Upvote 0
