Android - Show/Hide system bar on 4.2.2 (Nexus 10)

Question

I got issue with Nexus 10 - 4.2.2. I was testing code below on Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4.0.4 and it was working fine:

try 
{
    Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()         


        

Answer 1

I think you should not use system calls via Runtime.exec() to get that result. You should look at the code in FullscreenActivity template (sources are placed in /tools/templates/activities/FullscreenActivity/root): that is a full working example showing how to show/hide system bars (both top and bottom one) programmatically, and it even supports animations for API 13+.
