Hey guys
I have been looking for a solution to this on the forums, but cannot find a complete one.
Android provides a function to allow what they call Immersive Mode, which removes all on screen Android buttons and then hides the navigation and status bars allowing the running app to truly use 100% of the available screen space. I believe they implemented it in Android Kitkat, and its been in ever since, so nearly 50% of all android devices, and 100% of new devices
I have used this feature when working with LibGDX, also when working with the normal Android SDK. The FLAGS used are below...
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
Is there any way I can set these flags through editing some of the files behind the scenes? Or has this functionality already been made available some other way?
edit: I read somewhere on here that I could change the "AGKHelper.java" file, does that apply to stuff made with Tier 1, or only to stuff made with Tier 2? Because I am using Tier 1.
edit 2: I also just realised the two Android SDK versions in AGKv2 are,
'2.3.1 Gingerbread', and
'3.2 Honeycomb'. Whereas Immersive mode is
'4.4 Kitkat'. So based on that im not very hopeful as to any of the newer Android features being available to us yet
Many thanks
