  @Greywine I'd say gideros is in immersive mode by default - at least on my apps - either when I compile test apk.

  @Greywine: It should work, it works on my devices.
  
  It might not work if the Android device is running a really old version of Android (they might not have immersive mode) OR if your player is using an old version of src\com\giderosmobile\android\[appname]Activity.java ?

  I get the android home/back bar on my Nexus 7 running Android 5.1 everytime I run a program. Left landscape mode results in the android bar at an angle on the right side of the screen.
  
  It would be great if we could make it immersive like Clash of Clans so it would disappear but we could swipe down or up to make it reappear.
  
  It looks like it can be changed when you export a final Android app:

  But it would be nice if we could set it in the app:

  We already set the background, letterbox mode, landscape mode and even FullScreen if going to desktop. Maybe use Application:setFullScreen for Android as well?

  @SinisterSoft I had an old version installed on my Nexus. You're right. The new player is fully aware of Immersive mode.
