Is it possible to permanently remove the Navigation Bar on an activity? I want to remove the bar with the buttons that appear at the button of the screen on a tablet, not the Action Bar. Here.
I know it is not recommended to do that, I did not make this decision, but I need to do it. On my layout, there is another button to leave the activity. The rest of my app can have and does have the Navigation Bar.
I found this code and adapted it a little bit. The problem is that even when I hide the Navigation Bar, there is a black space left behind. I guess the system calculates the screen size having into account the navigation bar?
public static class Content extends ImageView implements View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener, View.OnClickListener, ActionBar.OnMenuVisibilityListener {
Activity mActivity;
TextView mTitleView;
Button mPlayButton;
SeekBar mSeekView;
boolean mAddedMenuListener;
boolean mMenusOpen;
boolean mPaused;
boolean mNavVisible;
int mLastSystemUiVis;
Runnable mNavHider = new Runnable() {
@Override public void run() {
setNavVisibility(false);
}
};
public Content(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener(this);
setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void init(Activity activity, TextView title, Button playButton,
SeekBar seek) {
// This called by the containing activity to supply the surrounding
// state of the video player that it will interact with.
mActivity = activity;
mTitleView = title;
mPlayButton = playButton;
mSeekView = seek;
mPlayButton.setOnClickListener(this);
setPlayPaused(true);
}
@Override protected void onAttachedToWindow() {
super.onAttachedToWindow();
if (mActivity != null) {
mAddedMenuListener = true;
mActivity.getActionBar().addOnMenuVisibilityListener(this);
}
}
@Override protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
super.onDetachedFromWindow();
if (mAddedMenuListener) {
mActivity.getActionBar().removeOnMenuVisibilityListener(this);
}
}
@Override public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility) {
// Detect when we go out of nav-hidden mode, to clear our state
// back to having the full UI chrome up. Only do this when
// the state is changing and nav is no longer hidden.
int diff = mLastSystemUiVis ^ visibility;
mLastSystemUiVis = visibility;
if ((diff&SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION) != 0
&& (visibility&SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION) == 0) {
setNavVisibility(true);
}
}
@Override protected void onWindowVisibilityChanged(int visibility) {
super.onWindowVisibilityChanged(visibility);
// When we become visible or invisible, play is paused.
setPlayPaused(true);
}
@Override public void onClick(View v) {
if (v == mPlayButton) {
// Clicking on the play/pause button toggles its state.
setPlayPaused(!mPaused);
} else {
// Clicking elsewhere makes the navigation visible.
setNavVisibility(true);
}
}
@Override public void onMenuVisibilityChanged(boolean isVisible) {
mMenusOpen = isVisible;
setNavVisibility(true);
}
void setPlayPaused(boolean paused) {
mPaused = paused;
mPlayButton.setText(paused ? R.string.play : R.string.pause);
setKeepScreenOn(!paused);
setNavVisibility(true);
}
void setNavVisibility(boolean visible) {
int newVis = SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE;
if (!visible) {
newVis |= SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE | SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION;
}
// If we are now visible, schedule a timer for us to go invisible.
if (visible) {
Handler h = getHandler();
if (h != null) {
h.removeCallbacks(mNavHider);
if (!mMenusOpen && !mPaused) {
// If the menus are open or play is paused, we will not auto-hide.
h.postDelayed(mNavHider, 1500);
}
}
}
// Set the new desired visibility.
setSystemUiVisibility(newVis);
mTitleView.setVisibility(visible ? VISIBLE : INVISIBLE);
mPlayButton.setVisibility(visible ? VISIBLE : INVISIBLE);
mSeekView.setVisibility(visible ? VISIBLE : INVISIBLE);
}
}

After watching the DevBytes video (by Roman Nurik) and reading the very last line in the docs, which says:
Note: If you like the auto-hiding behavior of IMMERSIVE_STICKY but need to show your own UI controls as well, just use IMMERSIVE combined with Handler.postDelayed() or something similar to re-enter immersive mode after a few seconds.
the answer, radu122 gave, worked for me. Just setup a handler and your will be good to go.
Here is the code which works for me:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
executeDelayed();
}
private void executeDelayed() {
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// execute after 500ms
hideNavBar();
}
}, 500);
}
private void hideNavBar() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
View v = getWindow().getDecorView();
v.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
}
}
Google says "after a few seconds" - but I want to provide this functionality as soon as possible. Maybe I will change the value later, if I have to, I will update this answer.
Change the theme in your manifest.
If you want to hide nav bar for one activity you can use this:
<activity
android:name="Activity Name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
If you want to hide nav bar for entire application you can use this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >
You can hide navigation bar, just call this method on your onCreate()
,
public void FullScreencall() {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19){
View v = this.getWindow().getDecorView();
v.setSystemUiVisibility(View.GONE);
} else {
//for higher api versions.
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
}
}
This will hide whole nagiation panel.hope it helps you
You can
There are Two ways (both requiring device root) :
1- First way, open the device in adb window command
, and then run the following:
adb shell >
pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.systemui >
and to get it back just do the same but change disable
to enable
.
2- second way, add the following line to the end of your device's build.prop file :
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
then to get it back just remove it.
and if you don't know how to edit build.prop file:
There is a solution starting with KitKat (4.4.2), called Immersive Mode: https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
Basically, you should add this code to your onResume() method:
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
From Google documentation:
You can hide the navigation bar on Android 4.0 and higher using the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION flag. This snippet hides both the navigation bar and the status bar:
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
http://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/navigation.html
My solution, to only hide the navigation bar, is:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
decorView.setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener (new View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility) {
if ((visibility & View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) == 0) {
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
}
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
final int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION;
final View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
}
Start by hiding in OnResume() of the activity then also keep hiding as shown below:
decorView.setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener
(new View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility) {
// Note that system bars will only be "visible" if none of the
// LOW_PROFILE, HIDE_NAVIGATION, or FULLSCREEN flags are set.
if ((visibility & View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) == 0) {
//visible
hideSystemUI();
}
}
}
});`
public void hideSystemUI() {
// Set the IMMERSIVE flag.
// Set the content to appear under the system bars so that the content
// doesn't resize when the system bars hide and show.
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION // hide nav bar
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN // hide status bar
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE);
}
