    How I turn off stupid Android Status bar?

    Well...

    I wish to know how I do that, Corona does that by default (in fact I think you cannot turn it on even if you wanted to).

    I tried following Android manual, did not even compiled (neither in programmatic neither in xml editing way).

    I following tips on Stackoverflow, those ones DID compiled, but the status bar was still visible.

    So, how I get rid of the status bar?

      Interestingly, but status bar should be turned of by default
      It's done by providing theme for application in manifest:
      android:theme="<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/android" rel="nofollow">@android</a>:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

      Yes, I did that, did not worked.

      Also the Activity has its own theme set too, it might be conflicting.

      I have the distinct impression that Gideros SDK internally is overriding this setting and loading the bar again programatically.

      Why do you have a theme set to an activity?
      By default it is exported without it

      I never put a theme in the activity, Gideros did. I only edit the version number.

      Just exported plain app and here is the generated part of Android Manifest:
      <application android:icon="<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/drawable%2Ficon%26quot" rel="nofollow">@drawable/icon&quot</a>; 
    android:label="<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/string%2Fapp_name%26quot" rel="nofollow">@string/app_name&quot</a>; 
    android:theme="<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/android" rel="nofollow">@android</a>:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
        <activity android:label="<a href="https://forum.giderosmobile.com/profile/string%2Fapp_name%26quot" rel="nofollow">@string/app_name&quot</a>; 
          android:name="com.giderosmobile.android.TestActivity"
          android:launchMode="singleTask"
          android:screenOrientation="portrait" 
          android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
      theme only set to application tag, does your activity has some kind of other changes?

      Alright, that is weird. I deleted the whole project, and exported again (instead of exporting assets), this time it worked.

      I guess the Gideros version I used to do the original export was broken.
