Air 23 SDK - status bar appears when showing soft keyboard

We are experiencing issues with several devices, one of them being Pixel XL 2.

Creating blank project and setting <fullscreen>true</fullscreen> in application descriptor does not actually set app to fullscreen, because navigation bar is still visible. I think it's getting set as SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN

What helps is running this native code Which sets SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY

private void hideSystemUI() {

  View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
   decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(

  View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
   | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
   | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
   | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
   | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
   | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}

It would be nice if access to this would be somehow exposed via AIR APIs.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. We are investigating it.

as is consistent with what seems like every single Adobe AIR softkeyboard bug, here we are more than a year later, 4 new versions of AIR, still this same stupid bug. I'm using the latest and greatest AIR 27, and when I touch an input field, the status bar appears.

I REALLY wish Adobe would stop rolling out features that only benefit what seems like 1% of the developer base and fix bugs that have existed for years.

I have the same problem like fredericb99676169 and ming renl43640151. I really hope Adobe will fix this issue in the next release.

I have the same problem. Open the game with Air 21 is good. Then I updated to Air 23, black bar shows at the bottom like below.

Updated to Air 24, black shows on the top, like the second pic. When press home button, then back to game, the game shows correctly, no black bar. My android version is 4.4.4. 720x1280, Huawei honor x4.

I also use milkman ANEs, it is not their problem. I have removed all the ANEs, then have the same result.

Just a note to say that I experienced this issue also. I have used some milkman ANEs, but not admob (Goviral and IAB in one project, GAnalytics and IAB in another) but I thought it was unrelated to those.

I ended up adding a call to a custom native extension that forced fullscreen non-immersive mode, I think restoring behavior as it was before in Air 22 and below.

But I see some commits in this extension relating to android immersive mode:

Commits · freshplanet/ANE-KeyboardSize · GitHub

Maybe that could help others now - I will try it also next week.

I just tried to use AIRSDK24.0.0.180 and we still see the status bar on few events like when admob interstitial appear and chartboost. We saw that bug with AIr 23 but unfortunitely the bug is still there with the lastest version. Could you please fix it asap?

We are also getting this and another related problem with Air 23 and Air 24 beta (not Air 22)

Nexus 5, Android 6.0.1

* When stageText is show, the system bar (back, home, apps list) is shown, and instead of being transparent, it has an opaque black background, but the app does not get a resize event, so vital parts of our UI are covered, and we have other issues cause by not resizing. There seems to be no way of dismissing it other then leaving the app and coming back to it

* I think the above issue is not present in Air 24 beta, but the app simply get's the wrong dimensions and so our UI is drawn incorrectly (completely unacceptable behavior). Leaving the app and coming back does not affect this issue.

Until this is fixed, we will be unable to upgrade passed Air 22, and we need Air 23 for other bug fixes. Please correct this ASAP

BTW- Is there a bug for this we could track??

Hi, i also can confirm that we have such issue on Samsung S6 and S7 phones. Any ETA when fix could be expected?
