Question

I’m working on creating an Android app.

The first layout I show will go full screen. I have the status bar up top, then my application title, then my layout.

I switch to other layouts when buttons get clicked.

Button bLogon = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLogOn);
    bLogon.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            startActivity(new Intent("com.testy1.myapptest2.CREDENTIALS"));
        }
    });

Any other layout that is shown using this method, will not go fullscreen. I’ve played with fill_parent, match_parent, etc. It simply comes down to what layout is shown first. Any layout afterwards shows the first layout behind it, and sizes itself to only use as much space as it needs.

I haven’t played with Android for some time, but I think that you should set such things in manifest xml for every activity.
