I have an android app which uses immersive mode for all activities - so its a full fullscreen app.
I have a BaseActivity class from which all other activities extend. In this activity I call the following to enable fullscreen/immersive
HelmiBlankActivity:
private boolean apiLowerImmersive = false;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
apiLowerImmersive = true;
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
}
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
if(hasFocus && !apiLowerImmersive ) {
getWindow().getDecorView().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);
}
}
In activities it works great, the problem is: When opening a new activity (per intent) the actionbar/titlebar are displayed for a short time and then hidden again - which seems kind of laggy/buggy.
The Application also has a theme: styles.xml:
<style name="FullscreenTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
I have tried applying the android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar as well - no success during transitions. I could not find anything on stackoverflow (which btw is a great community and has helped me with many problems) or anywhere else on the internet and would appreciate your help.
