Question

I have tried everything mentioned below but still not able to get rid of the Status Bar.

The LinearLayout in the layout xml has fill_parents for both vertical and horizontal attributes

Manifest :

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

Activity :

@Override
public void onAttachedToWindow() {
    super.onAttachedToWindow();

    this.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_KEYGUARD);  
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

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

EDIT :

The solution works if I add the android theme(android:theme=”@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen”) to application node rather than at the activity level in the manifest file. Why could it be so? what if I need this full screen behaviour for only one of the activities?

try like this..

<activity android:name=".abc"
            android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
            android:configChanges="touchscreen|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation|orientation"></activity>
