How to DISABLE status bar in Android?

Question

I want to disable status bar in my application. link

with:

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                     WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

I still can activate status bar with fast swipe from top to bottom screen. Is possible to fully deactivate it?

What API version are you using? Anyway in the dedicated android developers page ( Hiding the Status Bar ) there is a detailed explanation on how to do it with additional clarification for API<16. In particular if the status bar should always remain hidden in your app you should set the activity theme in your app's manifest file as follows:

<application
    ...
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen" >
    ...
</application>
