Hiding the title and forcing fullscreen can be done via the b4a IDE. in the menu goto Project > Activity Properties and there you have the options.

You can do that in the IDE, click on Project -> Activity Properties and put a check on Full Screen, then on your the designer check the properties of the Activity and select Show Title as False and Full Screen as True.

Hi,
I have the same thing. Is this a setting or something to do with the device or ...?

It gets hidden when playing videos in 4.0.4 does that bypass the OS do you think?

p.s. the soft buttons also disappear sometimes, leaving a blank area!

Only system processes can hide the bottom bar.

Thanks Erel
Thanks Margret. It's useful to be able to turn off the softbuttons at will. Unfortunately it looks like Erel is right re. 4.0.4 in that the blank space remains at the bottom and touching it switches the soft button display back on. So still can't use the full screen
Oh well.....

That is correct but I use this with VideoView on ICS to DIM the navigation bar when the video is playing. I had to have it and thought I would share. In code where a timer is running you can keep the bar off until you need it or you turn it on.

Just a thought: Once the status/ softkey area has been blanked, can it be used for messages/ softkeys of our own? Or is it completely reserved?
