SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE doesn't work

Question

I have one Activity which has content view having its root view as FrameLayout, i want to hide bottom bar's soft keys for which i have added following code inside onCreate of myActivity but it doesn't effect anything.

FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.myframe);
frameLayout.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE);

Is there any permission or extra code which i need to add?

Thanks in advance :)

Note : I am trying this on Android HoneyComb(API 13)

I guess all you need is to set targetSdkVersion in AndroidManifest to a proper one, say 11 or 13 for 3.0 or 3.2 repsectively.

SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE was added in Api Level 14 (Ice Cream Sandwich). It won't work before that, such as on Honeycomb.

Try this:

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

SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE Added in API level 14 and the one which is before it was STATUS_BAR_HIDDEN and this is since api 11 but it's now deprecated
