I'm building an AIR mobile app for android >= 4.0. I must be missing something or doing something wrong because no mater that i do, i can't get the fullscreen working rigth.

The tablet bottom bar always shows up. In current version the bar only shows 3 dots and have somekind of alpha but it doesn't allow me to draw above it or below it.

In my app description XML i have:

<initialWindow>

<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>

<renderMode>direct</renderMode>

<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>

<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

</initialWindow>

And the bar is still there

Tried set the fullscreen to false and then:

stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,1280,768);//Capabilities.screenResolutionX, Capabilities.screenResolutionY);

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

No effect... the damn bar is still there.

Using FB 4.7, Air 3.8 and -swf-version=21

Any help or a pillow to put between the head and the wall would be very apreciated!!

Thanks

I have a very similar issue look at App doesn't start at full screen after Android reboots .

The same here... I tried this:

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;

and:

<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

but it doesn't work.

I have rooted device (Tracer OVO 1.2 tablet, Android ICS 4.0.3) with three physical (touchable) navigation buttons on the right side.

Using Flash CS6, Air 3.9.

I'm sure it's possible because other apps and games run in fullscreen like a charm.

Is ANY way (maybe third party apps) to get rid of that damn staus bar?

If there are no hardware buttons, then the icon bar stays there. It should go dim, but it won’t go away. That’s normal.

So there's no way to hide it and use its area for my app? I have to root the device for it?

EDIT: The device doesn't have any buttons. it's an android tv box.

Here’s a discussion about different ways to hide the system ui:

If you make an app that does this you may get complaints from users, because you will have prevented them from exiting your app.
