Android Question How can i hide the edge panel from within my app ?

[Geezer]

I am using a full screen app, and making it immersive to hide the navigation but the edge panel ( on an S8+ ) still shows. I have other apps installed that hide it. How can I hide it ?

Add this to the manifest editor:

AddApplicationText(<meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect"
    android:value="2.1"/>)

That didn't work

I think I misunderstood your request.

Set a full screen theme: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/93892/#content
Maybe it will hide it. If nor you should look for a Java solution and we can help you port it.

After further investigating it doesn't seem possible. The edge isn't shown in landscape mode but it is still visible on all portrait screens.
