Fullscreen Activity in Android?

You can do it programatically:

public class ActivityName extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // remove title
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Or you can do it via your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"/>

Edit:

If you are using AppCompatActivity then you need to add new theme

<style name="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

and then use it.

<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen"/>

There's a technique called Immersive Full-Screen Mode available in KitKat.

Example

If you don't want to use the theme @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen because you are already using a theme of you own, you can use android:windowFullscreen.

In AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
  android:name=".ui.activity.MyActivity"
  android:theme="@style/MyTheme">
</activity>

In styles.xml:

<style name="MyTheme"  parent="your parent theme">
  <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
  <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item> 
</style>

In AndroidManifest.xml file:

<activity
    android:name=".Launch"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" > <!-- This line is important -->

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>  

Or in Java code:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}

If your using AppCompat and ActionBarActivity, then use this

getSupportActionBar().hide();
