Hi, in order to have a fullscreen app, I need to hide the Android navigation bar. This URL tells me how to do it: https://developer.android.com/trainin...
However, I am not sure where I would set the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION in Appery Source tab. Or, can it only be done by exporting to Eclipse?
Any pointers will be appreciated!
Thanks,

Hello!
Please try searching online how to do that in PhoneGap app. Looks like in res/xml/config.xml it is enough to add pre<preference name="fullscreen" value="true" />/pre
Thanks for the pointer, I will do further research.
Hi Maryna,
I did some research and found the same info as you did regarding phonegap full screen. However, I think the problem is that Appery does not expose the phonegap source code tree fully. I went into the Android directory and went to res/xml/config.xml, and added the line (as shown in the attached screen shot), and then saved and re-built the APK. However, it still shows the Navigation Bar on launch.
Any other ideas?
Hello!
"it still shows the Navigation Bar on launch" - do you mean Navigation Bar is shown only while app loading, then it is gone?
Sorry, wrong choice of words... the Navigation Bar shows in the App when it is running.
Hello Kal,
Sorry we don't have navbar if we put:
code <preference name="fullscreen" value="true" />/code
Neither on Android 4.0.4, neither 4.4.2. Could you please give a screenshot of your application installed on the device?
OK, just to be sure, I created a new blank page, and set it as the Start Page on my project (just to be sure nothing in the page is interfering). I checked once again to make sure the above line was in the XML (it was), and exported to apk, downloaded to the tablet. Here is the screenshot.
Just as a test, I did the same XML change to another app I have, which I run on a Moto G with Android 4.4.3. It has the exact same behavior, the navbar does not disappear.
Evgene: In your project, do yo have the BarcodeScanner folder as well? I have it in mine, and was wondering if that causes interference.
Second, did you put the Preference line in the same place I did (per the screen shot I attached a few replies ago), or are you putting it in a different place?
I think we must be doing something differently, since I cannot get it to work on 4.1 and neither on 4.4.3, whereas you can get it to work on two different OS versions, including 4.4.2.
Any update on this?
