Hiding Title Bar / Notification Bar When Device Is Oriented To Landscape

I want my title bar to be hidden when I turn my device to landscape. I have seen the XML option to hide the title bar, and the following example of doing it programmatically: //Rem

Solution 1:

was searching for an answer, ended up here, put the pieces together and here they are:

if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
  getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
else {
  getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}

Solution 2:

Assuming you have defined configChangesfor the Activity in the manifest then you can achieve your issue overriding onConfigurationChanged method:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
     super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
     if(newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
          getActionBar().hide();
     } else {
          getActionBar().show();
     }
}

You will have to use getSupportActionBar() instead of getActionBar() if using the support library.

Solution 3:

first check your device orientation by using following code

The current configuration, as used to determine which resources to retrieve etc, as available from the Resources' Configuration object as:

getResources().getConfiguration().orientation

Then do the necessary coding related to hide title bar and notification bar.

Solution 4:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration config) {
     super.onConfigurationChanged(config);
     if(config.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
          getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
          getActionBar().hide();
     } else {
          getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
          getActionBar().show();
     }
}

You can use this I have tried by my self.

Solution 5:

In your "AndroidManifest.xml", in the activity tag you can specify "NoTitleBar" in the theme property so that it will always hide the title:

<activityandroid:name="com.my_package.MyActivity"android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"android:configChanges="navigation|orientation|screenLayout|layoutDirection">
