Re: [android-developers] Full screen activity

Instead of doing it during creation, declare it in your manifest's activity tag:

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

I'm writing an Activity that should take up the entire screen.  I

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

at the beginning of onCreate().  But it doesn't work correctly.  What
happens is that the window title and notification bar are both visible
for just a moment when the activity starts up.  Then they slide off,
leaving my activity with a messed up layout: a blank space the size of
the notification bar gets left at the top of the screen, and a little
bit of my layout gets cut off at the bottom of the screen.  It appears
that it's laid out the activity the size of the full screen, but then
pushed it down a bit so part of it gets cut off.

If I remove either one of the two lines above, everything works
correctly and nothing gets cut off.  But then I have a title bar or
notification bar at the top of the screen, which I don't want.

I'm sure I must be missing something simple, but I've had no success
figuring out what.
