Roman Nurik demonstrates how to use the immersive full-screen mode API introduced in Android 4.4 KitKat.

With Android 4.4 KitKat, your apps can now truly go full-screen with a new Immersive Mode. Immersive Mode lets your apps hide the system's status and navigation bars while capturing all touch events—ideal for rich interactive content such as books and games. This video demonstrates how to use the new API, in addition to recapping earlier full-screen APIs on Android. Sample code: developer.android.com/shareables/devbytes/ImmersiveMode.zip
