Edited to add more details: (originally asked nearly two months ago...still haven\'t found a solution)
I have an activity with a somewhat complicate
I'm not sure if it'll work, but you might want to try this in that method:
this.getWindow().getDecorView().invalidate();
If that doesn't work on it's own, try adding to the onDraw(Canvas) method the instructions necessary to remove the title bar and do similar adjustments your activity might be doing at startup.
Hope that helps.
Hey Rich, I had the exact same problem. I fixed it by setting these options in the manifest XML (it seems the API interface is a little buggy). Details here: http://thedevelopersinfo.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/making-an-fullscreen-activity/
