Hi all,

what I´m looking for is a way to hide or make totally transparent the Volume System Bar, so when vol. up is press, the bar will not show on screen.

For what I´ve asked ChatGPT, it gives me this answer which I have tried without success:

  • It says create a .java file with a specific code and save in assets of the app. Example “HideSystemUIActivity.java”

  • Use Activity Starter. Configure “Package” with app package name, and “Class” with package name + name of the java file (example: “com.myapp.test.HideSystemUIActivity”)

With this method when I open the app it says: “Error 601: no corresponding activity was found”.

Then I tried executing the javascript with the WebView Javascript evaluate block. Not working neither.

Any other ideas if it´s possible, or there is no way in Kodular for that?

Thanks!

My guess is, the answer from ChatGPT can only be as good as the question…

Let us know, how to do it in Android… you might want to search stackoverflow.com
So probably then someone can tell you how to do it in Kodular

As far as I know, such actions are not possible in standard Android applications.
you can try to substitute a custom form. but this will only work on the application scale, not on the system.
In your example, the volume bar is displayed on top of all the elements and is not controlled via setSystemUiVisibility.
You can hide the standard volume panel by intercepting the events of the volume buttons and replacing it with a custom window (obviously opaque).
