(14) Android Hide Title Bar Example

Android Hide Title Bar Example

In this example, we are going to explain how to hide the title bar and how to display content in full screen mode.

The requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) method of Activity must be called to hide the title. But, it must be coded before the setContentView method.

1.     @Override  
2.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
3.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
4.           
5.         requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);//will hide the title not the title bar  
6.           
7.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
8.         
9.     }  
10. }  

The setFlags() method of Window class is used to display content in full screen mode. You need to pass the WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN constant in the setFlags method.

1. @Override  
2. protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
3.     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
4.       
5.     requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);  
6.     //code that displays the content in full screen mode  
7.     this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,  
8.                 WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);//int flag, int mask  
9.       
10.     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
11.     
12. }
