I want to set my application to full screen view. I got the idea to set it in an individual activity using FullScreen and NoTitlebar, but i want to set it in my Manifest XML file for the whole application not for each activity... Is this possible?

Help me... Thanks.

To set your App or any individual activity display in Full Screen mode, insert the code 

<application 
    android:icon="@drawable/icon" 
    android:label="@string/app_name" 
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

in AndroidManifest.xml, under application or activity tab.

Another way: add windowNoTitle and windowFullscreen attributes directly to the theme (you can find styles.xml file in res/values/ directory):

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

in the manifest file, in application specify your theme

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

If your Manifest.xml has the default android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

Go to res/values/styles.xml and change

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

to

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

And the ActionBar is disappeared!

In AndroidManifest.xml, set android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"in application tag.

Individual activities can override the default by setting their own theme attributes.

Try using these theme: Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar

Mi Style XML file looks like these and works just fine:

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

This seems to be an old questions with some old answers. We found that the easiest way to do this in a new project is to edit the res/values/themes/themes.xml file.

Actionbar: Change the parent attribute in the style element to "Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar" like this

<style name="Theme.WeatherDisplay" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">

Status bar: Add the following line under the style element

<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

Here is the resulting themes.xml

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.NameOfApp" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Primary brand color. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/purple_500</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryVariant">@color/purple_700</item>
    <item name="colorOnPrimary">@color/white</item>
    <!-- Secondary brand color. -->
    <item name="colorSecondary">@color/teal_200</item>
    <item name="colorSecondaryVariant">@color/teal_700</item>
    <item name="colorOnSecondary">@color/black</item>
    <!-- Status bar color. -->
    <item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
