Re: [android-developers] HIDE_NAVIGATION does not cause Configuration change?

This is a temporary state.  The screen size is (as of ICS) always reported with the nav bar excluded.  Having the screen size change and result in a configuration change would make it very difficult to do clean transitions between these states, and is just not needed.  All that will happen is the foreground application will temporarily get a little more space in which to place its UI...  and it is the one that requested this, so it should be happy to deal with it.  (Even if it didn't instigate this, and is written in a bad way where it isn't using standard layout managers that know how to adjust to changes in window size, worst case it just won't use the temporarily available extra screen space.)

Hi all,

Why HIDE_NAVIGATION does not cause Configuration change?
also, when the nav bar is hidden, the dimension reported by the Display.getMetrics should also change right?
