fullscreen mode

[pballer2oo7]

I'd like to be able to turn off the Navigation Bar and the Status Bar to take advantage of full screen height, particularly while using approach plates.

The api 19 way of doing it is pretty sweet. Both of the bars autohide but can be pulled up with a swipe near the screen edge.

We can put a check if the system is running api 19 and the user enables the feature. We can set this mode on the view associated with the MainActivity. Nothing changes if the user is running 18 or older or does not enable the feature. Is this an acceptable approach?

If this is done, some other small UI tweaks should be made as well:

• padding or lowering the TextField on the SearchActivity (because when using stable immersion, the search textfield is partially obscured by status bar when a soft keyboard is raised)
• present DialogInterfaces in an immersive way (would help with ux fluidity since we're using Dialogs to present lists of choices)

need to fix WXB, Plan, and List.

When you open one of these tabs fullscreen and then enable the soft keyboard, the keyboard covers up and prevents you from being able to scroll to the bottom of the screen and complete the form.

it's expected behavior due to the webview. see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5497

couple of options:

• either stop using webview for these screens and use normal ui widgets that can be reflowed fullscreen with the keyboard (should we do this eventually anyway? what's the reason for using webview for WXB, Plan, and List?),
• or we can write another solution like this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19494006

bars autohide but can be pulled up with a swipe near the screen edge.

Seems like a cool optional feature that's Off by default (I'm a big fan of starting newbies in "simple" mode). Are there any handles or buttons in the corners when auto-hid, or could some be added? Seems like a good safety feature to have something as a reminder at the left edge corner where the bars would normally be.

I agree completely with you about default behavior, JohnW4SBA. I have it defaulted to off in my branch.

I haven't added any bars or handles. immersive mode does teach the user how to use it (how to recall the bars) the first time it's enabled. we can also add it to the tips and help.

Have you tested thoroughly? We do not have a test team so developers make sure their changes are thoroughly tested. Once a PR is merged, and released, and serious issues are found, it will be backed out with longer code merge cycle from that developer for future PRs. Thanks for your help.

@apps4av, agreed. I won't open the PR until it's ready.
