Is there a way to determine if Android app is running full screen?

Question

i was just wondering if there was a simple way to see if an application running on android is currently in full screen. is there a way to query android to see if you're currently in full screen mode or something like that?

Answer 1

Just to complete on Sigwann answer:

boolean fullScreen = (getWindow().getAttributes().flags & WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN) != 0;
boolean forceNotFullScreen = (getWindow().getAttributes().flags & WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN) != 0;
boolean actionbarVisible = getActionBar().isShowing();

Answer 2

I guess Commonsware wanted to say getWindow().getAttributes() and not getWindow().getFlags(); since getFlags does not exist as far as I know. At least it is not in doc.

you need to read getWindow().getAttributes().flags, which is an int.

WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
int i = lp.flags;

FLAG_FULLSCREEN = 1024 according to android documentation. so your flag is the 11th bite of lp.flags

if this bite = 1, full screen is activated.
