+DevBytes: Android 4.4 Immersive Mode
+Android 4.4 (API Level 19) introduces a new +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE} flag for +{@link android.view.View#setSystemUiVisibility setSystemUiVisibility()} that lets your app +go truly "full screen." This flag, when combined with the +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION} and +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN} flags, hides the navigation and status +bars and lets your app capture all touch events on the screen.
+ +When immersive full-screen mode is +enabled, your activity continues to receive all touch events. The user can reveal the +system bars with an inward swipe along the region where the system bars normally appear. +This clears the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION} flag +(and the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN} flag, if applied) so the +system bars become visible. This also triggers your +{@link android.view.View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener}, +if set. However, if you'd like the system bars to automatically hide +again after a few moments, you can instead use the +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY} flag. Note that the +"sticky" version of the flag doesn't trigger any listeners, as system bars temporarily +shown in this mode are in a transient state. +
+ +When you use {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE IMMERSIVE} or + {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY IMMERSIVE_STICKY}, + the system UI stays hidden, even while users are interacting with your +app or game. You can capture touch events from anywhere across the screen, even areas that +would otherwise be occupied by the system bars. This gives you a great way to create a +larger, richer, more +immersive UI in your app or game and reduce visual distraction at the same time.
+ +Figure 1 illustrates the different "immersive mode" states:
+ +
+Figure 1. Immersive mode states.
+ +In figure 1:
+Note that it's best practice to + keep all UI controls in sync with the system bars, to minimize the + number of states your screen can be in. This provides a more seamless user experience. So + here all UI controls are displayed along with the status bars. Once the app enters + immersive mode, the UI controls are hidden along with the system bars. + To ensure that your UI visibility stays in sync with system bar visibility, make sure to + provide an appropriate {@link android.view.View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener} + to watch for changes, as described in + Responding to UI Visibility Changes.
+ +Note: If you want to force the reminder bubble to appear +for testing purposes, you can do so by putting the app in immersive mode, turning off the +screen with the power button, and then turning the screen back on again within 5 seconds. +
Note: Remember that the "immersive" flags only take effect +if you use them in conjunction with {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION}, +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN}, or + both. You can just use one or the other, but it's common to hide both the status and the + navigation bar when you're implementing "full immersion" mode.
+ +The flags {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE} and + {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY} both provide an immersive + experience. But whereas the + {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY IMMERSIVE_STICKY} + flag causes semi-transparent system bars to briefly show and then hide again in response to + a swipe gesture, the same swipe gesture causes the system bars to reappear and remain + visible if you instead use the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE IMMERSIVE} + flag. Here are examples of when you would use one vs. the other:
+ +When you use the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE} flag, it hides + the system bars based on what other UI flags you have set + ({@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION}, + {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN}, or + both). When the user swipes inward in a system bars region, the +system bars reappear and remain visible.
+ +It's good practice to include other system UI flags (such as +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION} and +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE}) to keep the content from resizing +when the system bars hide and show. You should also make sure that the action bar and other +UI controls are hidden at the same time. This snippet demonstrates how to hide and show the +status and navigation bars, without resizing the content:
+ +
+// This snippet hides the system bars.
+private void hideSystemUI() {
+ // Set the IMMERSIVE flag.
+ // Set the content to appear under the system bars so that the content
+ // doesn't resize when the system bars hide and show.
+ mDecorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
+ View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION // hide nav bar
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN // hide status bar
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE);
+}
+
+// This snippet shows the system bars. It does this by removing all the flags
+// except for the ones that make the content appear under the system bars.
+private void showSystemUI() {
+ mDecorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
+ View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);
+}
+
+
+
+You may also want to implement the following in conjunction with the +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE IMMERSIVE} flag to provide a better user +experience:
+ ++For more discussion of these topics, watch the video +DevBytes: + Android 4.4 Immersive Mode.
+ +When you use the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY} flag, +an inward swipe in the system bars areas causes the bars to temporarily appear in a +semi-transparent state, but no flags are cleared, and your +system UI visibility change listeners are not triggered. The bars +automatically hide again after a short delay, or if the user interacts with the middle of the +screen.
+ +Figure 2 shows the semi-transparent system bars that briefly appear and then hide again +when you use the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY IMMERSIVE_STICKY} flag.
+ +
+Figure 2. Auto-hiding system bars.
+ +Below is a simple approach to using this flag. Any time the window receives focus, simply +set the {@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY IMMERSIVE_STICKY} flag, along +with the other flags discussed in Use IMMERSIVE. For example:
+ +
+@Override
+public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
+ super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
+ if (hasFocus) {
+ decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
+ View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
+ | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);}
+}
+
+
+Note: If you like the auto-hiding behavior of +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY IMMERSIVE_STICKY} +but need to show your own UI controls as well, just use +{@link android.view.View#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE IMMERSIVE} combined with +{@link android.os.Handler#postDelayed Handler.postDelayed()} or something similar to +re-enter immersive mode after a few seconds.
