Answer 1

if i understand correctly, you just want to hide the action bar?

if yes, Change this line (changing the flag_hide_navigation to 0).

private static final int HIDER_FLAGS = 0;// SystemUiHider.FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION;

and add this to the onCreate call:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);   //new
    getActionBar().hide();                                   //new
    getWindow().setFlags(
         WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_fullscreen);

afterwards, if you want to show the action bar, just call from anywhere in the activity :

getActionBar().show();

Answer 2

I Tried The Same By Putting 0 in place of 3000

private static final int AUTO_HIDE_DELAY_MILLIS = 3000;

But its becoming too laggy... So,The trick u to make changes in androidmanifest.xml add

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

to AndroidManifest.xml underApplication
