ActionBarSherlock with fullscreen

Question

Is there some way to hide status bar and keep action bar visible?

Answer 1

Yes, there is. You should set FLAG_FULLSCREEN in your onCreate method of Activity.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
