Full Screen Mode

Full Screen Mode

An app can be set to enter full screen mode if there is a need to provide a more immersive experience that maximizes space for content.

In this mode, all app chrome elements--that is, the status bar and all headers and footers--are dismissed, and the content area fills the entire screen.

If the user taps on the display in full screen mode, the app has the option to display semi-transparent transient header and footer areas to display navigational information and controls. The header and footer areas should fade out after a timeout.

If a notification is received in full screen mode, it is not displayed, as the status bar is not present. If an alert is received, however, it is still displayed above the content area.

The app should always provide a means of exiting full screen mode.
