Hide/Show the system UI

Attila_Murmann · December 25, 2020, 1:09pm

I want to give the option to show / hide the system UI.

I can do it with a button and with TaifunTools (Show(/Hide)SystemUI).

Many phones have a phisical home-button, so have no systemUI.

Thats why my button has no function, so in this case I want to hide it.
Can I find out somehow if a phone has a physical 'Home' button, (and screen independent 'Back' and 'Running apps' buttons)?

Maybe one of the available methods will work for you:

My tests show this:

Also make sure the device is Android 4 and above.

Fine, thanks.

Already set the min sdk to 19.

Welcome

I did not know that

But it also works on Android 4.3 (API 18, Jelly Bean) with Companion.

Excuse me, where can I set the min sdk?

Anke · December 25, 2020, 2:12pm

The minSdkVersion = 19 is declared in the Manifest by the extension.
But you can set (change) it this way (minSdkVersion = 18 works, Galaxy S3):

Thank you.
I thought that it is better to set a min sdk else it can cause problems later.

Anyone else using these vintage phones?

Attila_Murmann · December 25, 2020, 3:55pm

I develop and build apps in AI2, I've never used neither Android Studio nor APK editor.
Should I use one?

Anke · December 25, 2020, 4:02pm

I still have a few older ones for testing purposes, so I still use these ...

Attila_Murmann · December 25, 2020, 4:11pm

I prefer small phones with one physical button (and fingerprint scanner) under the screen, not on the back. I'm old fashioned, I know.

Attila_Murmann · December 26, 2020, 2:53pm

I've found the Apk Editor and I've tried it.
I can do the task.
Thanks for all.

Üdv!
