How can I keep the action/title bar but hide the notification bar

Question

How can I keep the action/title bar but hide the notification bar?

This question looks like it has already been answered but most of the answers I found hide both the action bar and the notification bar. I want to be able to keep the action/title bar. The best I've gotten is hiding both and using a linear layout to display a custom action/title bar but I want a system generated one. Also is it possible to hide just the action bar whilst displaying the notification bar?

"Also is it possible to hide just the action bar whilst displaying the notification bar?" -- call `hide()` on your `ActionBar`. — CommonsWare, Aug 05 '13 at 23:54

To hide the notification bar use the follow code:

WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = act.getWindow().getAttributes();
attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
act.getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);

To show the notification bar use the follow code:

WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = act.getWindow().getAttributes();
attrs.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
act.getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);

You'd probably want to call the code in Activity.onCreate().

you just saved me a lot of trouble! Thanks! – Aug 06 '13 at 01:14 — , Aug 06 '13 at 01:14
