In your manifest set the following theme to your activity to make it fullscreen.

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"

And set this to make it fixed to landscape orientation

android:screenOrientation="landscape"

Inside your xml for the activity place the following:

 android:screenOrientation="lands cape"

 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

1. Manifest way - For whole Application

you should specify this feature in your Manifest.xml - <application>

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"

2. Inside your code - For specific Activity

in your onCreate method work both these approaches:

this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

or

this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

The code to be entered into the Manifest had to be placed into each individual activity tag, because I already had an artribute for android:theme but it works great thanks! – user1956475 Jan 29 '13 at 11:58
@user1956475 : then try the 2nd way - `For Specific Activity` inside all of your activity. – Vikalp Patel Jan 29 '13 at 11:59

@user1956475 : use `this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);` in all your activity to make it w/o title bar – Vikalp Patel Jan 29 '13 at 12:09
I did put that and the application crashed! – user1956475 Jan 29 '13 at 12:11

@user1956475: using `android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"` and `this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);` both at same time may causes error due to conflicts. So Please try to use either one of them – Vikalp Patel Jan 29 '13 at 12:14

I didn't let them go at the same time – user1956475 Jan 29 '13 at 12:18

Add this line in AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name=".FullScreen" android:label="@string/app_title_home"  android:screenOrientation="landscape" />

Edit your activity class like this.

public class FullScreen extends Activity {
    @Override
    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);
    }
}
