Disable/Hide status bar in Android

Question

I am developing an application which should have some extra security features. In this case I have to disable/hide the status bar. I am running with Android 2.2.

And also my device is rooted and if there is an ADB command to disable status bar, it would be fine as well.

For now what I do is basically when user try to expand the status bar I collapse it by invoking some . But sometimes user can expand it and click on the items in status bar notifications.

This code part will do this,

 public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus)
 {
         try
         {
            if(!hasFocus)
            {
                 Object service  = getSystemService("statusbar");
                 Class<?> statusbarManager = Class.forName("android.app.StatusBarManager");
                 Method collapse = statusbarManager.getMethod("collapse");
                 collapse .setAccessible(true);
                 collapse .invoke(service); 
            }
         }
         catch(Exception ex)
         {

         }
 }

And also I tried setting application as full screen app. But it also has some problems.

Can someone please help me to solve this issue?

Answer 1

you can select the theme spinner and select the "Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen".

Using code:-

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

above written code placed in oncreate method
