How to hide the Status Bar?

Question

I am trying to hide the status bar. I have tried the following things.

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >

In the Manifest.XML I have added the above code.

And in the onCreate() I have added the following:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); // hide statusbar of Android // could also be done later getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

But still I am unable to hide the status bar. Can anyone help?

which device you are using ? 4.0 + (Tablet)?

The approaches you've taken would work on 2.3.X

But if you are talking about 4.0 tablets this is the code

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout); layout.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

If you're talking about a tablet you cannot get rid of the system bar but I suggest you look at this question:

Just make sure that you are writing above code lines before the line setContentView()?
