how to put view behind navigation bar in android?

Question

I have a video view and i am hiding the navigation bar when video starts playing, but the view is stretched to the empty part created after the hiding the navigation bar. I want to play the video in full screen behind the navigation bar. So that when i do hide/show navigation bar the stretching and shrinking of video view should be avoided. Any suggestions are appreciated ...

Thanks.

Answer 1

What is it basicallly your navigation bar is it a Preloader,..?

for preloader you can dismiss it like

pd.dismiss();

Answer 2

use full screen window with flag SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION :

view.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
