Status bar behaviour on Android

Android

  1. Make your main app window fullscreen with setFullScreen (true);
  2. Set your main app window in kiosk mode with Desktop::getInstance().setKioskModeComponent (this, false);

Thank you!

Doesnā€™t seem to work right nowā€¦ at least on Android 8.1 emulator in Android Studio (tablet coming soon!). Kiosk mode doesnā€™t seem to make a difference - I still have the top status stuff, and a thick bar with the name of the app.

Anything else to set?

Thanks!

Update - got a tablet. It does clear the carrier stuff, and bottom nav bar, but thereā€™s still a big app name bar at the top.

Is this something I can clear? Do I need to change the window type Iā€™m creating or something (currently a DocumentWindow).

Thanks,

As I struggled with the same thing, I tried a variety of things over time, and have not yet gone back and whittled things down to the minimum, but here is my MainWindow ctor:

LiveControllerApplication::MainWindow::MainWindow (String name, ValueTree appProperties, ValueTree runtimeProperties, AudioDeviceManager* adm, CueAudioServer* cas)
    : DocumentWindow (name, Desktop::getInstance().getDefaultLookAndFeel().findColour (ResizableWindow::backgroundColourId), DocumentWindow::allButtons)
{
    setUsingNativeTitleBar (true);
#if JUCE_ANDROID
    Desktop::getInstance().setOrientationsEnabled (Desktop::allOrientations);
#endif

#if ! JUCE_MAC && ! JUCE_IOS && ! JUCE_ANDROID
    setMenuBar (LiveControllerApplication::getApp().getMenuModel());
#endif

    setContentOwned (new MainComponent (appProperties, runtimeProperties, adm, cas, mb), true);

#if JUCE_IOS || JUCE_ANDROID
    setFullScreen (true);
#if JUCE_IOS
    setBounds (Desktop::getInstance().getDisplays().getMainDisplay().totalArea);
    Desktop::getInstance().setKioskModeComponent (this, false);
#endif
#else
    setResizable (true, true);
#endif
    setVisible (true);
}

Thanks!

Hmm. Almost identical, except on Android you arenā€™t going Kiosk. I tried that - carrier and nav areas stay on, but status bar or title bar thing is still there.

Maybe anything you changed in the project? Permissions?

Iā€™m running down these tips right now:

Good callā€¦ I forget where I picked this up:
