Inspiration

I was using Eclipse IDE and I created a new default full screen application. This example works perfect on android 2.2 - 4.2 version, but had some issues with kit kat.

So I decided create a example application which fix the issue and use Action Bar Compat. In my fix when your system is in immersive mode it only show/hide action bar, if not, it show/hide action bar, status bar and navigation bar.

I also used Action Bar overlay. With this trick the transitions are more smooth between screen modes, and prevent layout rezise all time( It cause white spaces before transitions start).
