How to perfectly hide the bottom navigation bar

Question

I am developing an apps which needs enter full-screen mode, however, no matter I tried. The bottom navigation bar is hidden but it will pop up for half second when I change the page (change activity). I really appreciate if someone can give me a hand, it troubles me for a day. Thank you!

Android OS 8.0 Oreo, Android Studio 3.1.4

Following codes are the java class, styles.xml and layout.xml, thanks!

public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
    }


    @Override
    public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
        super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
        if (hasFocus) {
            getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
                    View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
        }
    }
}

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Show the problematic code in order to get help. Otherwise, the answers might be too broad and probably too unspecific for your problem. — BluesSolo, Nov 30 '18 at 08:38
Without seeing your code all we can do is *guessing what may cause the issue*. Please, post your code. — BackSlash, Nov 30 '18 at 08:38
What have you tried so far? and could you please explain your question with image and android-OS information? — Rumit Patel, Nov 30 '18 at 08:39

I had this problem too, this works for me :

protected void fullScreen() {
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);


    View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION;
    decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
}

@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
    super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
    fullScreen();
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    fullScreen();
}
