How to set activity to fullscreen mode in Android?

Question

How to set full screen mode for activity in Android? I am using the following code to set full screen but it generates an error:

Exception:

android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: 
    requestFeature() must be called before adding content.

Code:

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

Hello all , Problem solved when I write code before setContentView(R.layout.main); . Thank you! All for your answers. — Ranjitsingh Chandel, Sep 12 '12 at 13:28

please check the code

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

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

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

and note it is set before setting the content view

You might still see another error specifically with Amazon devices. You need to call requestWindowFeature before super.onCreate(). See the following answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/12388771/how-to-set-activity-to-fullscreen-mode-in-android – Jona Feb 21 '15 at 22:32

try this in AndroidManifest:

<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
</activity>

This code I used in MAIN activity. Activity name already declared in AndroidManifest. – Ranjitsingh Chandel Sep 12 '12 at 13:08

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

**Code:** public class Draw extends Activity { SignatureView sv; RelativeLayout rLayout1; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); rLayout1 = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout1); // Set full screen view getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); sv = new SignatureView(this, null); rLayout1.addView(sv); sv.requestFocus(); } } This is my code – Ranjitsingh Chandel Sep 12 '12 at 13:17

put requestWindowFeature first in your code....like this...

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