how to hide the status bar in launcher?

Question

there are launcher which offers the possibility to hide or protect the status bar. i tried to get the position of the menu with TouchEvent and menu position when there is a touch I put a popup to say you are not allowed but the touchEvent gives actions on screen so how can I hide the status bar I tried

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_grid);
        mGrid = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
        mGrid.setColumnWidth(95);
        mGrid.setVisibility(0x00000000);
        mGrid.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

what device / emulator configuration are you trying this? btw, take a look [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14178237/setsystemuivisibilitysystem-ui-flag-layout-hide-navigation-does-not-work), could be useful — lelloman, Mar 28 '13 at 16:06
@diez I know that when things don't work it can be quite frustrating (sadly I know it very well), but if you want others to help you, I suggest you to collaborate, otherwise people will very likely ignore you and your problem. — lelloman, Mar 28 '13 at 16:34
i am trying to use setSystemUiVisibility(SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN | SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION) as mentioned in the link — diez, Mar 28 '13 at 16:38

you can do it programmatically by calling

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

I think you must do it before than

setContentView(whatever);

or by editing app style, adding

<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

inside <style>

@diez well, it would be nice if you could say what you've already tried when asking a question, and eventually post some code ^^ – lelloman Mar 28 '13 at 15:43

@diez could you please edit your question? reading code in the comment is a punch in the stomach – lelloman Mar 28 '13 at 15:59

Did you try this in your Manifest?

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
