[android-developers] lights out mode PLUS menu soft key?
I am trying to add lights out mode to my game, but cannot get it to coexist with the menu soft key, which I still need to be accessible. To elaborate, setSystemUiVisibility(View.STATUS_BAR_HIDDEN) seems to have no effect unless I also target sdk version 11 in my AndroidManifest (uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=8 android:targetSdkVersion=11/), which has the side effect of hiding the menu soft key. Any ideas? Thanks, Gil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] lights out mode PLUS menu soft key?
Put a menu in your UI. If you don't want it in the action bar (because you have no other need for the action bar), that's fine -- put a menu button somewhere in your UI that your users will find and use. Or don't use menus, but rather some other UI paradigm (I haven't encountered many games that use native options menus).

[android-developers] Lights Out mode
I am trying (unsuccessfully thus far) to dim the system bar on
Honeycomb devices. My current layout contains a single WebView. The
following is called in my bundle's onCreate routine.
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT =
android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
mWebView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.STATUS_BAR_HIDDEN);
}
The function is getting called, but the system bar is never dimmed.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [android-developers] Lights Out mode
Nothing leaps to mind as being a problem. This sample project
successfully goes into lights-out mode via an options menu item:
https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Honeycomb/FeedFragments
(see lightsOut() method in AbstractFeedsFragment)
Make sure your targetSdkVersion is 11 (or higher).

Re: [android-developers] Lights Out mode
Yes you'll need to do this after your view hierarchy is attached to the window manager.
