Android Hide Title Bar Example

In this example, I am going to explain how to hide the title bar and how to display content in full screen mode.

The requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) method of Activity must be called to hide the title. But, it must be coded before the setContentView method.

1.     @Override  
2.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
3.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
4.           
5.         requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);//will hide the title not the title bar  
6.           
7.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
8.         
9.     }  
10. }  

The setFlags() method of Window class is used to display content in full screen mode. You need to pass theWindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN constant in the setFlags method.

1. @Override  
2. protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
3.     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
4.       
5.     requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);  
6.     //code that displays the content in full screen mode  
7.     this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,  
8.                 WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);//int flag, int mask  
9.       
10.     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
11.     
12. }

Activity class

File: MainActivity.java

1. package com.javatpoint.hidetitle;  
2.   
3. import android.os.Bundle;  
4. import android.app.Activity;  
5. import android.view.Menu;  
6. import android.view.Window;  
7. import android.view.WindowManager;  
8.   
9. public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
10.   
11.     @Override  
12.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
13.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
14.           
15.         requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);  
16.        
17.       /*this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, 
18.                   WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);//int flag, int mask 
19.       */  
20.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
21.
