Samsung Galaxy S8 full screen mode
To enable new Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 full screen support add to the AndroidManifest.xml under the <application>
element:
<meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2.1" />
Where value of 2.1 is aspect ratio 18.5:9 (By default your App defaults to maximum ratio for 16:9 - 1.86). More info in: Android Blog.
Alternatively, you can set the following attribute for Application or Activity:
android:resizeableActivity="true"
Because the documentations states (link):
You do not need to set a maximum aspect ratio if an activity's android:resizeableActivity attribute is set to true. If your app targets API level 24 or higher, this attribute defaults to true.
to get full-screen you must overide onWindowFocusChanged method and create decorView object and add System_UI flags into it..
@Override public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus){ super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus); View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView(); if(hasFocus){ decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE |View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY // this flag do=Semi-transparent bars temporarily appear and then hide again |View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN // Make Content Appear Behind the status Bar |View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION // it Make Content Appear Behind the Navigation Bar |View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN // hide status bar |View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION); } }
It can be turned off. I used this tutorial for my S8
