How to hide the Status Bar?

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?

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

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:
