Question

I’ve created a WebView-based application according to http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html

Although I did exactly what was written, including p.5, the application is not full-screen.

While you’re in the manifest, give some more space for web pages by
removing the title bar, with the “NoTitleBar” theme:

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

The full code of the manifest is here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.mydomain.helloworld"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".HelloWorldActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

The main.xml file is here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>

I’ve tested the application in both emulator (2.2) and a real device (2.3), the project platform is 2.2.

The result is presented here (the real device looks similar):

What’s wrong with my app, why does the title bar appear and what’s the right bar?

Regards,

UPDATE

This question partially duplicates this one (the right bar):
webview showing white bar on right side

Answer 1

This could help you in the onCreate()-method:

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