This lesson describes how to hide the status bar on different versions of Android. Hiding the status bar (and optionally, the navigation bar) lets the content use more of the display space, thereby providing a more immersive user experience.

Figure 1 shows an app with a visible status bar:

Figure 2 shows an app with a hidden status bar. Note that the action bar is hidden too. You should never show the action bar without the status bar.

Hide the Status Bar on Android 4.0 and Lower

You can hide the status bar on Android 4.0 (API level 14) and lower by setting WindowManager flags. You can do this programmatically or by setting an activity theme in your app’s manifest file. Setting an activity theme in your app’s manifest file is the preferred approach if the status bar should always remain hidden in your app (though strictly speaking, you could programmatically override the theme if you wanted to). For example:

The advantages of using an activity theme are as follows:

• It’s easier to maintain and less error-prone than setting a flag programmatically.
• It results in smoother UI transitions, because the system has the information it needs to render your UI before instantiating your app’s main activity.

Alternatively, you can programmatically set WindowManager flags. This approach makes it easier to hide and show the status bar as the user interacts with your app:

When you set WindowManager flags (whether through an activity theme or programmatically), the flags remain in effect unless your app clears them.

You can use FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN to set your activity layout to use the same screen area that’s available when you’ve enabled FLAG_FULLSCREEN . This prevents your content from resizing when the status bar hides and shows.

Hide the Status Bar on Android 4.1 and Higher

You can hide the status bar on Android 4.1 (API level 16) and higher by using setSystemUiVisibility() . setSystemUiVisibility() sets UI flags at the individual view level; these settings are aggregated to the window level. Using setSystemUiVisibility() to set UI flags gives you more granular control over the system bars than using WindowManager flags. This snippet hides the status bar:

Note the following:

• Once UI flags have been cleared (for example, by navigating away from the activity), your app needs to reset them if you want to hide the bars again. See Responding to UI Visibility Changes for a discussion of how to listen for UI visibility changes so that your app can respond accordingly.
• Where you set the UI flags makes a difference. If you hide the system bars in your activity’s onCreate() method and the user presses Home, the system bars will reappear. When the user reopens the activity, onCreate() won’t get called, so the system bars will remain visible. If you want system UI changes to persist as the user navigates in and out of your activity, set UI flags in onResume() or onWindowFocusChanged() .
• The method setSystemUiVisibility() only has an effect if the view you call it from is visible.
• Navigating away from the view causes flags set with setSystemUiVisibility() to be cleared.

Make Content Appear Behind the Status Bar

On Android 4.1 and higher, you can set your application’s content to appear behind the status bar, so that the content doesn’t resize as the status bar hides and shows. To do this, use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN . You may also need to use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE to help your app maintain a stable layout.

When you use this approach, it becomes your responsibility to ensure that critical parts of your app’s UI (for example, the built-in controls in a Maps application) don’t end up getting covered by system bars. This could make your app unusable. In most cases you can handle this by adding the android:fitsSystemWindows attribute to your XML layout file, set to true . This adjusts the padding of the parent ViewGroup to leave space for the system windows. This is sufficient for most applications.

In some cases, however, you may need to modify the default padding to get the desired layout for your app. To directly manipulate how your content lays out relative to the system bars (which occupy a space known as the window’s «content insets»), override fitSystemWindows(Rect insets) . The fitSystemWindows() method is called by the view hierarchy when the content insets for a window have changed, to allow the window to adjust its content accordingly. By overriding this method you can handle the insets (and hence your app’s layout) however you want.

Synchronize the Status Bar with Action Bar Transition

On Android 4.1 and higher, to avoid resizing your layout when the action bar hides and shows, you can enable overlay mode for the action bar. When in overlay mode, your activity layout uses all the space available as if the action bar is not there and the system draws the action bar in front of your layout. This obscures some of the layout at the top, but now when the action bar hides or appears, the system does not need to resize your layout and the transition is seamless.

To enable overlay mode for the action bar, you need to create a custom theme that extends an existing theme with an action bar and set the android:windowActionBarOverlay attribute to true . For more discussion of this topic, see Overlaying the Action Bar in the Adding the Action Bar class.

Then use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN , as described above, to set your activity layout to use the same screen area that’s available when you’ve enabled SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN . When you want to hide the system UI, use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN . This also hides the action bar (because windowActionBarOverlay=”true”) and does so with a coordinated animation when both hiding and showing the two.

How to hide status bar (NOT status bars) for Android 11?

The normal way to hide status bars:

statusBars() returns an insets type representing any system bars for displaying status. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.view.WindowInsets.Type.STATUS_BARS, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.NAVIGATION_BARS, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.CAPTION_BAR, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.IME, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.WINDOW_DECOR, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.SYSTEM_GESTURES, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.MANDATORY_SYSTEM_GESTURES, android.view.WindowInsets.Type.TAPPABLE_ELEMENT, and android.view.WindowInsets.Type.DISPLAY_CUTOUT

This means the above method may hide multiple system bars. How can I hide only android.view.WindowInsets.Type.STATUS_BARS?

android.view.WindowInsets.Type.STATUS_BARS cannot be referenced. Could anyone shed some light on this?

How to remove top status bar black background

I’d like to create a TRUE fullscreen activity, but there is always a black status bar on screen top. Android 9.0.

I’ve tried almost all I can find with Google and existing Apps with similar jobs. Manifest, code, style, AS sample fullscreen activity, all were tried.

Kotlin (commented lines are tried and failed):

The expected result:

What I actually got:

Found what caused this. You should set the App to FullScreen App in Settings -> Display.

So fixed. Thanks for all your help.

Add this method in your activity

before adding this call this below super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); onCreate

above attribute is use if your device have notch cutout for camera.

I had a problem with displaying content through the notch or the cutout area. Found this in the docs:

LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES — Content renders into the cutout area in both portrait and landscape modes.

Key thing for me was this line in the activity style:

I wanted to show an image in immersive mode, and when I click it, the system UI (status & navigation bars) should show up.

Here is my complete solution:

1- Methods to show/hide system UI in the Activity

2- Make sure this in the root view of your xml layout

3- The Style for the Full screen Activity will give status/navigation bars a semi transparent background when they show up:

Hiding top status bar but keeping the bottom navigation bar

fullscreen hides both the Android navigation and status bars (requiring you swipe from the bottom to show the navigation bar over the app), and standalone hides neither, when it comes to the display property of the PWA’s manifest.

Simply, I want the bottom Android navigation bar to always show but without showing the top status bar. I wonder if I am missing some HTML meta or manifest JSON property or some other way to accomplish this?

I will expect most users to install the PWA via the web, not via the Play Store (so no TWA, Android application wrapper, etc.)

1 Answer 1

As far as I know this is not possible.

With the web-manifest you have different choices: default, standalone, fullscreen (see screenshots below):

On the Google docs page, also a «minimal-ui» value is available:

This mode is similar to fullscreen, but provides the user with some means to access a minimal set of UI elements for controlling navigation (i.e., back, forward, reload, etc). Note: Only supported by Chrome on mobile.

Reading the description it seems this is what you are looking for, but unfortunately the top status bar and also the page address (read-only) is displayed. Therefore I do not think you can achieve what are you looking for with the standard display values of the web manifest.
