fullscreen

Hallo,

I'm using my Android (Archos 43) only as an extended display in an industrial application. I just need a single programm to display data received and send user inputs by bluetooth. This little programm should start directly after booting and should disable (fade out) the android-buttons (search, home, menu and back). That's my plan.

Here's my problem:

I know, there are some applications which can fade out these search/home/menu/back-buttons (like DeskClock or some videoplayers). But how does it work? Just using

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

only disables the titlebar, not the 4 android-buttons.

Thanks,

Dennis
