Toggle Android Statusbar with press of a button

Hello!

I am trying to completely hide and show the statusbar on Android (toggle fullscreen) when I press a button.

What I am currently doing is

        public void ToggleFullscreen(bool isFullscreen)
        {
            var window = MainActivity.window; // Gets set in OnCreate
            var fullscreenFlag = WindowManagerFlags.Fullscreen;

            if (isFullscreen)
            {
                window.AddFlags(fullscreenFlag);
            }
            else
            {
                window.ClearFlags(fullscreenFlag);
            }
        }

I can get the clock and battery icons to disappear (With a pretty jumpy animation). But it still leaves a black space on the top and takes up as much space it did before.

Does anyone have a solution on how to completely hide/show the statusbar (i.e. Toggle fullscreen mode)?

    I tried your code on my side. However, it worked as expected:

    The content will occupy the space of the status bar.
    Could you please share a sample to help reproduce the issue?

    Thank you for the answer LandLu!

    I'm afraid I cant share this project. But at least I know that it works for someone else, so there must be something else wrong in my project.

    Did you set any special parameters in your styles.xml file? I am currently using:

    Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar

    But I have also tried with the FullScreen theme.

    I test this on a completely new project.
    You could have a try by creating a new project.
    Try to reproduce the issue on a basic sample. We don't need your whole project here.
