Android Question #FullScreen: True not working for me

[Eric H]

#FullScreen: True

is not hiding the status bar. I also set the flag to hide the title, but it still shows the status bar and the title. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Eric

What have you got min and target sdk set to?

 

[Eric H]

Is that something in the manifest? Or...?

 

[eps]

Yes, it's in the manifest

 

[Eric H]

Yes, it's in the manifest

Its the default manifest for a new project except for adding hardware acceleration. Do I need to change it?

What are min and target sdk set to in the manifest file? I'm fairly certain that they need to be above a certain value to allow you to use the fullscreen, i.e. remove the notification bar.

I currently use :

min = 4

target = 14

What device are you using?

I'll have to check in the morning. I'll report back what mine are set for, as well as- if changing them to 4 and 14 fix the issue. Thanks.

What device are you using?

Galaxy Nexus

Are you able to post a screenshot? Maybe this device doesn't allow fullscreen? A quick Google indicates that there _may_ be a setting within the Galaxy Nexus to allow this.. but I haven't got Galaxy Nexus myself, so can't confirm this 100%.

FullScreen hides the notification bar at the top. That's all. If you don't want the title, set #IncludeTitle to False. Since ICS, you cannot hide the navigation bar at the bottom. You can only dim the buttons.

Not true. You can hide the navigation bar at the bottom. target sdk = 14 does the trick. but you already know this!!

You should read the post that you mention. We talked of the overflow button, not of the navigation bar.
Until now, the only way to hide completely the navigation bar is to use a hack on rooted devices.

Ok, so here is the solution to the problem I had:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #FullScreen: True
    #IncludeTitle: False
    #ApplicationLabel: XXXXXXXXX
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

looks good right?

So here is what I didn't notice, which was collapsed in the next code region:

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

I was setting the #FullScreen attribute to True, and the #IncludeTitle attribute to False, only to set the opposite attributes in the next code region.

Thanks for trying to help my silly tired mistake. At least I learned about some other things in this thread from the stuff posted above. Thanks eps and Informatix!

All better now, yay!

Ah, excellent Glad you got it sorted and posted the solution - we all make silly mistakes from time to time
