root - Permanently hide Android Status Bar

I'm trying to hide the system Status Bar on an Android 4.4 device. This is for a kiosk-mode where my app will be the only app ever run on the device. The target device for now is a 2013 Nexus 7.

The device is rooted, and I've been able to completely remove the bottom Navigation Bar with some info from this post.

For the top Status Bar, everything I have tried only hides the bar temporarily. If my users motion down at the top of the screen, the status bar reappears. I don't want to allow them to see the time, get to settings or even see notifications.

Posts I've found and already tried:

Any suggestions?

Ideally, I'd love to be able to edit build.prop to do this, since I'm already doing that for the navigation bar, and could do this at the same time. I'm trying to not have to build my own android image.

Update:

After some more work, this seems to depend somewhat on the exact build of android, or the device its running on.

Some devices, such as the Nexus series I've been working with allow the user to swipe to make the bar reappear.

However, I've recently tried this on a Verizon Eclipse, and the bar does not reappear, which is what I was looking for.

I'm still looking for a better solution to target all devices, but it will probably come down to creating my own build of android.

We could not prevent the status appearing in full screen mode in kitkat devices, so made a hack which still suits the requirement ie block the status bar from expanding.

For that to work, the app was not made full screen. We put a overlay over status bar and consumed all input events. It prevented the status from expanding.

note:

  • customViewGroup is custom class which extends any layout(frame,relative layout etc) and consumes touch event.
  • to consume touch event override the onInterceptTouchEvent method of the view group and return true

Updated

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/> 

customViewGroup implementation Code :

WindowManager manager = ((WindowManager) getApplicationContext()
            .getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE));

WindowManager.LayoutParams localLayoutParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
localLayoutParams.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR;
localLayoutParams.gravity = Gravity.TOP;
localLayoutParams.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE|

            // this is to enable the notification to recieve touch events
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL |

            // Draws over status bar
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN;

    localLayoutParams.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    localLayoutParams.height = (int) (50 * getResources()
            .getDisplayMetrics().scaledDensity);
    localLayoutParams.format = PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT;

    customViewGroup view = new customViewGroup(this);

    manager.addView(view, localLayoutParams);

Hope this helps you
