Hide Notification bar

Question

Anyone know how to disable/hide notification bar at the top which show battery and other things in android. Any help will be appreciated.

EDIT: Please also add how can I hide ActionBar+NotificationBar for later android versions.

You could use a theme in your AndroidManifest.xml:

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

or change parent of your AppTheme to @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen like this

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"> </style> 

then apply this theme on activities which you want Fullscreen like

android:theme="@style/AppTheme" 

or use the following code snippet:

public class FullScreen     extends android.app.Activity {     @Override     public void onCreate(android.os.Bundle savedInstanceState)     {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);          requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);         getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,                                 WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);          setContentView(R.layout.main);     } }
