Setting Android activity into fullscreen

Question

I need to set my activity into fullscreen no statusbar and actionbar

here is my code base on what i have google. I added NoTitleBar and Fullscreen

   <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"  
         android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"  >
        <activity
            android:name="com.examples.hello.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" 
             android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

The problem is my app crushes about Theme.AppCompat. How do i fix this one?

my log

> 04-09 11:22:35.570:  E/AndroidRuntime(3931): 
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
> ComponentInfo{com.examples.hello/com.examples.hello.MainActivity}:

> theme (or descendant) with this activity.

just remove the library from the project properties. Delete all the code related to fragments from the MainActivity. Move the layout from fragment.xml to activity_main.xml. — Atish Agrawal, Apr 09 '14 at 03:20
Post your crash log. Does your activity extends ActionBarActivity? — Libin, Apr 09 '14 at 03:29

Try this:

Pragmatically :

    public class ActivityName extends Activity {
       @Override
       public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

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

           setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
  }

By XML in Manifest file:

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

Remove this from manifest file `android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"` and use Pragmatically aproach for doing this: or you can pls follow this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17870881/cant-find-theme-appcompat-light-for-new-android-actionbar-support — Lavekush Agrawal, Apr 09 '14 at 03:58

@Override
protected 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.yourlayoutname);
}

put this code in to your onCreate method in your MainActivity before you setContentView.
