Question

Can the TabHost in Android 2.3 be fullscreen?
Usually, I use

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

in an activity prior to setting the content view, but for some reason, doesn’t seem to work for the TabHost.

What am I missing?

This should work. You should do like this.

public class ActivityName extends TabActivity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // remove title
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Make sure. You’d given the requestWindowFeature method and setting the flag before calling setContentView Hope this will helps you. Its work fine for me.

or you can do this in Manifest.xml

<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
</activity>
