Hi Kal,

Did you tick "Full Screen" for a footer in Properties panel?

Yes, I just tried it. It does not help, unfortunately. Same results.

Hi Kal,

Then you could manually hide header and footer, unticking 'Show Header' and 'Show Footer' on page Properties panel.

Katya, I am not trying to hide the header and footer, I am trying to hide the Android navigation bar (with the home button, back button, App switching button, etc.)

But navbar is placed in a header/footer, isn't it?..

Ah, we are talking about two different navigation bars! Yes, there is a navbar in the app itself, that can be put in header or footer. However, the tablet/phone has its own navigation bar, which I am trying to hide. Please click on the link I gave in the first post in this thread, and you will know what I mean.

Apparently, Evgene was able to get it to work, using Maryna's suggestion in the first reply. However, I can't get that to work, and I am trying to figure out why it works for Evgene and not for me.

KEl,

Please look here:
http://docs.build.phonegap.com/en_US/...
fullscreen Makes your app full screen, with values true or false. This hides the status bar at the top, and is false by default. I.e. it hides only the top status bar.

So, this brings me back to the original question. How do I hide the Navigation bar (the Back, Home, App Switch, Menu button bar you see at the bottom of your page)? Google documentation says https://developer.android.com/trainin..., I should set the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION. Where do I find it in Appery?
