If you are targeting android 4.0 and higher

View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
              | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);

but how can i keep this? and hide it again? i override onTouch event but key bar still appeare. :( – Jeffiejeffrey

from the points given in the developer site... i think this is not possible. Did u check this link developer.android.com/training/system-ui/visibility.html – Homework

yep! i find the answer, we should put that in onResume no onTouch !! thanks again for your help! – Jeffiejeffrey

i dont know whether this will help ur query since hiding bar would stop your navigation. Lets see if someone comes up with a better solution – Homework

while mentioned targeting android 4.0 why it appear warning for View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN ? – Nittygritty
