Working on my android app, im trying to figure out how to make the app run in fullscreen, (The statusbar not available while running the app)

this might be able to help you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5431365/how-to-hide-status-bar-in-android

Thanks! I'll check that out and get back to you!

Did not quite figure out how to implement the code into the manifest. Any idea?

i dont think it goes into manifest.xml, i think it goes in the activity it says. im not 100 percent sure and i dont want you to make any mistakes, someone else might know more than i do

How do i find the activity? haha! xD Dont be afraid, at worst, i just remove the stuff i put in! :P

ok let me check gimme a sec

ok, try this...if this dont work delete it go to the "src" folder then go to bt_activity_base.java folder scroll down til u see this //onStart @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); //BT_debugger.showIt(activityName + ":onStart"); try putting this code below //onStart @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); let me know if it works, if not delete it and we can try other ways

i hope it works for u, because i really have no idea, sometimes i add stuff like that and it winds up working, sometimes it doesnt codes are like legos u look for the pieces that fit

Hehe, I see codes like...a puzzle, but not as a child puzzle, more like those which takes like 500 years to complete, and still you dont understand how you did it! :P But ill try that ASAP as I come home from school, should be like a couple of min!

i might be taking a nap, im exhausted, but i will come back to check on how your doing later. Goodluck!

When I add it to the BT_activity_base.java, nothing happens when I update the application... I'm running ICS right now on the Android used to test it btw.

Hiya @ceerup and @Sande I am wondering if it isnt BT_activity_root.java the code should be? I have checked it out myself because i am still busy trying to work out where to change things round, and in the case you guys are discussing, i think it may be as i suggested. Do correct me if am wrong please Cheers Omoba

//onCreate @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); BT_debugger.showIt(activityName + ":onCreate"); //no title, full screen requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //uncomment the next line to force full screen (no status bar) on launch... //getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); /* Thats what I found in BT_activity_root.java, but when I took away the comments, nothing happened at all!

I am not saying i am right, mind you. But, what i have suggested, is a follow on from what @ceerup said above, which was to direct you to make it look like; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); But, i then added the bit about trying this on activity_root.java So, what am saying is, try cut-n-past the code as @ceerup said it. If @ceerup is right, it should work - he has already uncommented it as you can see... Goodluck with it, please let me know if... :)

I did as you all said, and i get 2 errors "Duplicate method onCreate(Bundle) in type BT_activity_base" Should it be in base or root? xD

Erm.. I think nows the best time to call in the cavalry in the form of @GNW or @Fred or @Stobe... Lol

sande, send me the zipped up project, ill work on it and send it back also do you have an instant messanger of some sort we can talk quicker on? and when we get to the sort of the problem

Oh, yeah! Sandee.93 @ Hotmail. com

i dont really mean to be nosey here, but, @ceerup and @sande, hope u guys dont mind keeping me in the loop on this please :)

Ofcourse not! We could make a conference IM on like, msn?

Hehe i dont really know :P I have msn... haha xD

ok let me look at this, and grab a cup of coffee to get my brain at max capacity lol

Hehe yeah, I'm zippin' on my own coffee right now, but for whole different reasons than you :D God I would love to live in NY!

yea the citys beautiful here, its telling me the manifest is missing, i probly imported it wrong let me try something brb

how do i do this, i need to import it? or just create new project...i forget

Hmm, just create a new project, and choose the whole unzipped map :D

Hmm, just create a new project, and choose the whole unzipped map :D

okay let me try that

it says android manifest is missing, when i know its not missing, how do i get it in there

just drag and drop i think

nevermind got it

ok, now tell me what you want done, you want the top that says "Start" To disappear?

because you have 3 button menus on the screen, what do you want to accomplish by having it fullscreen?

Yeah to start with I would like that "bar" do disapear xD And then i want the android statusbar gone to, like in games (a)

It will look smoother, and so when i add more

i wish i can understand this app, it looks pretty good and u speak good so far and you speak good english ok let me try to make the bars disappear brb

Hehe, i have high dreams of this app, but not that very good skills in developing xD But I'm thinking of translating the whole app to English when I'm done with it :)

whats the app supposed to do since i dont understand swedish

It's a supporter app. Its for the swedish supporter branch for Liverpool FC As they did not have a android application for that, I decided to make it myself :) Its supposed to give the people a news feed, the league table, guestbook and live matches... But i dont know really how to make them xD

ive tried everything, and i wasnt getting errors, its just not working for some reason, i did everything that website said to do, and it wont go fullscreen, im not sure if its because of the layout you have. i wish i could help, i tried it all, im sure someone here can definitely help you with this.

Oh but thanks anyways! Maybe I could just ask you whenever I have some other problem? Cuz sometimes it takes ages to get som real answer here :/

im as new to this as you are, but sure you can ask me anything and if i can help ill be glad to i have a question though, are those all websites on ur app, or is that a chatbox thingy that people can type into it and everyone can see it, because im looking to do something like that

No, for the guestbook, You will need a server, or atleast a homepage to feed the info to. I just created my own free website at 000webhost.com So i created www.sandeapps.comli.com where the guestbook is :) Hope that made sence xD

how do i get a server, or feed it through my website

http://www.htmlcommentbox.com/ There :)

thank you

Hand for a hand mate! :) You working on a project?

not yet, i finished one of my apps, you can download and check it out, i might make a pro version and charge 99 cents i need ideas though

I'll check that right away!

Is it for a certain game? If so, you could add maps?

its not for a certain game thats why i didnt use maps or guides

so one thing i would like to add is a chat box so people can set up play dates, and i want an RSS feed so i can frequently update the new games that are coming out with having to keep changing the app...you have an idea how to do this?

I might, but I cant quite do it now, but I'll check it out in a couple of hours and check back to you. Does that sound good?

sounds great thank you

Ofcourse! As I said, hand for a hand! ;) We could make it good together!

great idea

Ok Cee :) If you just could send me the .zip file and I could have a look at it!

i have a free website, so how do i feed any info to it

is that what people mean when they say your own "server"?

I Think what they mean is a server like SQL or something like that

i still cant figure out how to put a chat sande

i still cant figure out how to put a chat sande

I have on my app a guestbook, if thats what you're seeking?

what exactly does the guestbook do

http://www.sandeapps.comli.com/1_5_G-stbok.html Something like that, but not as buggy and ugly

so its basically ur website and u added a guestbook to ur website and people do it like that?
