Android 4.0.3 Hide Notification Bar and Title Bar

I want to make my application go fullscreen in any android device. Hide the Title bar and also the notification bar. The application is supposed to run on a 10 inch tablet on Android 4.0.3. I am using the following code but only the title bar disappears. I want to hide the notification bar also. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong in my code ?

getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

The thing holding the navigation buttons back and home, time, network information etc is referred to as "navigation" bar.

You can not hide it within the given framework, but it is possible if rooting the device is an option for you:

  1. Root device

  2. Install and run Busybox

  3. Install HideBar

In HideBar there is an option to run in 'Kiosk' mode, in which there is no way to re-display the navigation bar. Needless to say, you really need to be careful with this.

try this

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

Hope it helps.

Edit:

The SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION is a new flag that requests the navigation bar hide completely. Be aware that this works only for the navigation bar used by some handsets (it does not hide the system bar on tablets). The navigation bar returns to view as soon as the system receives user input. As such, this mode is useful primarily for video playback or other cases in which the whole screen is needed but user input is not required
