How to hide status bar in Android

Question

I referred this link. In that if the user clicks on EditText(for ex To: ) at that time keyboard will be popped out and at the same time the user can be able to scroll to see all remaining views(ex: compose,subject, send button) in that screen. Similarly in my app I have one activity in that I am having some widgets or views. Suppose if the user clicks on Edittext which is in my Activity then keyboard is popping out and i can be able to scroll to see remaining views. But if i give this attribute android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" in manifest i was unable to scroll to see remaining views but if give attribute android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" like this in manifest I can be able to scroll to see remaining view but there is status bar in that screen, here I want full screen and even if the keyboard is popped out I can scroll to see remaining views..? what changes I have to made for this..?

@user448250: Note that you cannot hide the status bar in Android 3.0, and there is a decent chance that you will not be able to hide the status bar going forward. In Android 3.0, the status bar houses the BACK and HOME buttons, so the status bar needs to be always available. — CommonsWare, Mar 25 '11 at 11:25
I have just managed to hide both the title and status bar on the emulator with 3.0, API level 11. — erdomester, Nov 02 '12 at 20:09
Full screen should be still allowed, user usually doesn't want to see status bar when playing full screen game. — Sam YC, Dec 05 '13 at 07:37

Write this in your Activity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

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

Check Doc here : https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/status.html

and your app will go fullscreen. no status bar, no title bar. :)

If you need this in one activity, you have to put in onCreate, before setContentView:

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

setContentView(R.layout.your_screen);

If you are hiding the status bar do this in onCreate(for Activity) and onCreateView/onViewCreated(for Fragment)

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

And don't forget to clear the flag when exiting the activity or else you will have the full screen in your whole app after visiting this activity. To clear do this in your onDestroy(for Activity) or onDestroyView(for Fragment)

getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN)

You can use this method to hide the status bar. And this is important to hide the action bar too. In this case, you can getSupportActionBar().hide() if you have extended the activity from support lib like Appcompat or you can simply call getActionBar().hide() after the method mentioned above.

If you are working with higher API then you may have noticed the flags as mentioned by the above answers i.e. FLAG_FULLSCREEN and SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN are deprecated.

To cover up the whole screen you can define a custom theme:

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <style name="ActivityTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Add the theme in your activity in the manifest like android:theme="@style/ActivityTheme" and you are done.

Note: You can also add pre-defined @android themes directly in your manifest: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen". In such cases make sure your activity extends Activity() not AppCompatActivity() although it's not recommended.

This code hides status bar.

to hide action bar write this line:-

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

both lines can be written collectively to hide Action bar and status bar. all these lines must be written before setContentView method call in onCreate method.

In AndroidManifest.xml -> inside the activity which you want to use, add the following:

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"
//this is for hiding action bar

and in MainActivity.java -> inside onCreate() method, add the following :

this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
//this is for hiding status bar

You can hide by using styles.xml

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

<style name="HiddenTitleTheme" parent="AppTheme">

just call this in your manifest like this android:theme="@style/HiddenTitleTheme"

You can hide status bar by setting it's color to transperant using xml. Add statusBarColor item to your activity theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

As FLAG_FULLSCREEN is deprecated from android R. You can use below code to hide status bar.

 @Suppress("DEPRECATION")
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {

           window.insetsController?.hide(WindowInsets.Type.statusBars())

           window.setFlags(

The clean and scalable approach to show and hide system UI I stick to, which works for different Android Api levels:

    private val api: Api =
        when {
            Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S -> Api31()
            Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == Build.VERSION_CODES.R -> Api30()
            else -> Api()
        }

    fun hideSystemBars(window: Window, view: View, isImmersiveStickyMode: Boolean = false) =
        api.hideSystemBars(window, view, isImmersiveStickyMode)

    fun showSystemBars(window: Window, view: View) = api.showSystemBars(window, view)

    fun areSystemBarsHidden(view: View): Boolean = api.areSystemBarsHidden(view)

    @Suppress("DEPRECATION")
    private open class Api {
        open fun hideSystemBars(window: Window, view: View, isImmersiveStickyMode: Boolean = false) {
            val flags = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN or
                View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION or
                View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION

            view.systemUiVisibility = if (isImmersiveStickyMode) {
                flags or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
            } else {
                flags or
                    View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE or
                    View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
            }
        }

        open fun showSystemBars(window: Window, view: View) {
            view.systemUiVisibility = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
        }

        open fun areSystemBarsHidden(view: View) = view.systemUiVisibility and View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION != 0
    }

    @Suppress("DEPRECATION")
    @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.R)
    private open class Api30 : Api() {

        open val defaultSystemBarsBehavior = WindowInsetsController.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_BARS_BY_SWIPE

        override fun hideSystemBars(window: Window, view: View, isImmersiveStickyMode: Boolean) {
            window.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(false)
            view.windowInsetsController?.let {
                it.systemBarsBehavior =
                    if (isImmersiveStickyMode) WindowInsetsController.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE
                    else defaultSystemBarsBehavior
                it.hide(WindowInsets.Type.systemBars())
            }
        }

        override fun showSystemBars(window: Window, view: View) {
            window.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(false)

We can hide status bar in Android 4.1 (API level 16) and higher by using setSystemUiVisibility()

window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN

As per google document we should never show the action bar if the status bar is hidden, so hide that too if necessary.

actionBar?.hide()

I know I'm very late to answer. I use the following piece of code in a relative java file for this purpose

Objects.requireNonNull(getSupportActionBar()).hide();

If you are using Compose then you can import

implementation "com.google.accompanist:accompanist-systemuicontroller:0.17.0"

then in your screen just write

val systemUiController = rememberSystemUiController()
systemUiController.isStatusBarVisible = false

Here How you can hide the status bar Use this function in your Helper Object Class and call it in your activity

    fun hideStatusBar(window: Window, context: Context){
    if (SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        window
            .decorView
            .systemUiVisibility =
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE or
                    View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
        window.statusBarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.transparent_bg_color)
    } else {
        window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN)
    }
}

Call it in your Activity before set Content View.

hideStatusBar(window, this)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_detail)

Under res -> values ->styles.xml

Inside the style body tag paste

<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus" tools:targetApi="kitkat">true</item>

answered Mar 20 '18 at 08:39

it is throwing error - org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 6; columnNumber: 79; The prefix "tools" for attribute "tools:targetApi" associated with an element type "item" is not bound. – Atul Raj Mar 01 '21 at 12:24
