How can I hide the status bar for a specific activity?
I found this similar question, but none of the answers worked for me. The app just crashed every time I tried to go to the activity: How to hide status bar in Android
Thanks.

Try this in you activity before setting your content
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

That worked, but does it work for all versions of Android?
Hide the Status Bar on Android 4.0 and Lower
By setting the theme of application in manifest.xml file.
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"OR
By writing JAVA code in activity's onCreate() method.
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // If the Android version is lower than Jellybean, use this call to hide // the status bar. if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) { getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); } setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); }
Hide the Status Bar on Android 4.1 and Higher
By writing JAVA code in Activity's onCreate() method.
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView(); // Hide the status bar. int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN; decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions); // Remember that you should never show the action bar if the // status bar is hidden, so hide that too if necessary. ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.hide();

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16)//before Jelly Bean Versions { getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); } else // Jelly Bean and up { View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView(); // Hide the status bar. int ui = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN; decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(ui); //Hide actionbar ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.hide(); }

Not working for me on Android 9... The app is in Full Screen but the statusBar shows up. Any idea ?

Please add these before setContentView in OnCreate if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) { Window window = this.getWindow(); window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS); window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS); window.setStatusBarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.toolbar_color)); }
Only working answer (for me at least)
In styles.xml
<resources> <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> ... </style> </resources> The in-code solution did not work for me in 4.4.2 Kitkat.

Open styles.xml and update the styles which your activity uses :
<style name="ExampleTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> <!-- add this line --> </style>
