In my app I want to remove completly the softkeys (back, home, etc). I've managed to do that with:

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

But when I touch the screen it comes back, and does not go away... I also have "android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" on manifest and 

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

Does not help...

Anyone knows how to get over this?

Thanks.

  • how does a user leave your application? – njzk2 Sep 30 '14 at 20:44
  • The app should "auto-run" in startup and the user should not be able to get to android system. It's suppose to have a hidden button to exit to android, for service if needed. – Julio Silva Oct 01 '14 at 12:47
  • then your app should be a launcher, not a simple app. (Still requires the user to declare it as default launcher, but only once.) see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4841686/how-to-make-a-launcher – njzk2 Oct 01 '14 at 13:05
  • Thanks, I did not thought of that way... Can I hide the softkeys that way also? – Julio Silva Oct 01 '14 at 21:06
  • no. But when a User would press home, they would get back to your home page. – njzk2 Oct 01 '14 at 21:17
  • And if I really want to remove the soft-key bar? I need it's space on the display... – Julio Silva Oct 02 '14 at 20:46
