Getting rid of the 3 button menu bar (aka Action Bar?)

[eps]

Okay, I've been over the online resource, such as it is and over the information contained on B4A, but I can't seem to get rid of it and was wondering how others may have removed it from there Apps. I will attach a screenshot to show the menu bar that is at the bottom of my App screen later on - as I can't access the file right now, it's this I wish to remove / not display and then utilise the lower part of the screen for App screen real estate space.

I've added 2 styles.xml files and edited them such that the App should use them (also updated the manifest.xml file) such that it should use the wholescreen and not display the ActionBar - or have I got this confused with something else??? I seem to have been going round in circles with this one!! Someone else must have resolved this issue.

I've also updated the manifest file to have a target version of 11.

You're right, it was a mistype But I've now posted the screenshots so we know what I'm talking about now and it all works so I'm happy.

The youtube and movie player apps get rid of it.

No, no and no. They just hide it temporarily. Touch your screen and the bar comes back. You cannot prevent that. A lot of guys more skilled than you and me tried to remove it with no avail.
Please read the article on the subject (link in post #15).

On a device with hardware buttons, delivered with Gingerbread or an older version, ICS and Jelly Bean do not display the soft buttons of the navigation bar, except the overflow button (the button we call "menu button"). That's why on older devices updated with ICS, you can remove the bar by changing the targetSDK. That's what eps did.
