Hide the url bar of the browser after an intent is in the responsability of the page openend, not of the activty which launched the intent.

You just have to add this javacript to scroll down of 1px after a delay.

In fact, http://www.google.com is one of those site which do the trick.

Your intent starts a new activity and the new activity is beyond control if your app. Depending on the apps installed on the user's device, it might not even start a browser.

If you want more control over the way your URL gets rendered you need a tighter integration into your app. E.g. you can write your own browser easily. Create a new activity with a full screen android.webkit.WebView and call loadUrl().
