Disable status and naviagation bars

Question

Problem - I try to disable status and navigation bar when active my app (Android 7+)

I found few solution :

theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"

and

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

This solutions hide bars, but if do swipe down/up - bar showned.

I saw application that turned off these bars, how is this possible?

It is not possible to disable the ability to swipe the bars back in. As a normal app, you are not allowed to take over the device and prevent the user from exiting the app.

If you're trying to develop a "kiosk mode"-type app, take a look at the APIs for dedicated devices.
