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 do I hide the status bar in my Android 11 app?

Every method I came across to hide status bar of my Android app is deprecated in Android 11.

Does anyone know about any current acceptable method?

Also I use Kotlin to develop my apps.

When your device is API-30 (Android 11; minSdkVersion 30) or later , setSystemUiVisibility is deprecated and you can use the newly introduced WindowInsetsController instead. (And note that you cannot use WindowInsetsController on API-29 or earlier).

So the official reference says:

This method was deprecated in API level 30. SystemUiVisibility flags are deprecated. Use WindowInsetsController instead.

If you also want to hide NavigationBar:

Are you looking for this?

API LEVEL status bar in your application you can simply do this by making your app FULLSCREEN. Inside your onCreate method just add FLAG_FULLSCREEN

This is if Build.VERSION.SDK_INT .

API LEVEL >= 16 AND Build.VERSION.SDK_INT greater than 16;

Just add this inside your onCreate where you want to hide the status bar . More you can read here: https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/status#41

EDIT: API LEVEL >= 30

It seems that SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is also depricated from Android 11 even if it didn’t say anything in the documentation. But based on this tutorial you can do this in Android 11 you need to use WindowInsetsController and its hide() method. Like the other answer suggested you can use:

So, this is for Android 11 and later, other methods are for earlier versions.

Method 1: Hiding Android StatusBar Using Java Code

Following is the code of java activity file and XML layout file to hide and show status bar/ notification bar.

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?
