Android - How to unhide soft buttons after programatically hiding them?












7














Some android phones have soft buttons (back, home, menu). I manage to hide them using setSystemUiVisibility as described here.



However, how to make the softbuttons visible pragmatically?

          You can use setSystemUiVisibility()




          • Request that the visibility of the status bar or other screen/window decorations be changed.


          SAMPLE CODE



          public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

          TextView tvTextView;

          @Override
          protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

          getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
          View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
          | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
          | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
          | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
          | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
          | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);

          setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

          tvTextView=findViewById(R.id.tvTextView);
          tvTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View view) {
          getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
          }
          });

          }

            Setting View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE worked for me.



            getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
