Is there any way to hide the nav bar while in split screen mode? I have my nav bar auto hide all of the time but when using two apps side by side, it reappears and there is no longer an option to hide it.
Am I missing the logic behind this? Surely when using two apps on the one screen, that extra space is even more important?
After the Android Oreo update, the gesture options allow you to get rid of the navigation bar and use swipe gestures to perform functions such as "back" "background windows" and "home". However entering split screen mode from this stage is my concern.

What if, when you didn't pay attention to the Navigation Bar at the bottom it SMOOTHLY flew down the bottom of the screen. And when you wanted to use it, you just swiped up and it responded right away!?
Wouldn't that be awesome? I don't know if it's possible to do or if Google would have to implement it. If you can do it let me know when you make it!
That's what I have set up on my MoPho, using Apex launcher. I've hidden both the dock and notification bar. When I need them, I swipe up for my app drawer and swipe down for my notifications. I press home softbutton to toggle my status bar, and also set double-tap anywhere on screen for my GoSMS to launch.
I like the clean look

Swiping up with one finger might not be a good idea. Say for example you're in the settings menu and you swipe down, either the phone will open up the notification bar or scroll down.. or both. Swiping up and swiping down with 2 fingers would be great!
Mybad, just realized that I was still in the Nexus section and not the Photon lol, time for bed :7
In some ROMS out there you already have the ability to hide the nav bar - and use these controls from the advanced power menu instead. Same option, different solution.
It's actually pretty annoying because the hit box of the buttons changes and it's not aesthetic to see the buttons in the incorrect location.
I don't wanna use one button nav because there is some stutter while unlocking the phone and some bugs while changing the apps within the multitasking.
(Maybe can be fixed by permanently disabling the nav bar (?)
Well, i used custom navigation bar app paid version to modify the navigation icons and they don't move now.
Try the Nova launcher, you can use whichever type of Google bar you want, including a transparent one. I don't even use a bar, just the app icon
I recently switched to using the OnePlus gestures on my Pixel 2 XL to try out some new gestures, and I hid my nav bar using both the XDA Navigation Gestures app as well as Hide Nav Bar (recommended by the OnePlus gestures app). Using both methods, I've noticed that once the nav bar disappears, only half of toast notifications (or whatever they're called, the small notifications that appear on the bottom of the screen and disappear quickly) appear on screen, while half of it is offscreen. The same thing happens to the volume bar while in landscape mode, which basically makes it useless since I can't see anything.
Has anyone seen this before? And is there any other way of hiding the nav bar (so that it doesn't come up even with a swipe up) so that I can see everything like normal? It seems like these notifications/volume adjuster/other elements are dependent on having a certain border at the bottom.. Is there any way to emulate that? Thanks!
I can't seem to reproduce the problem for toasts (tested using Discord for the toast that appears when downloading an image), but I do have the volume bar in landscape mode problem. Is there a specific app you notice cut-off toasts in? Would be nice to know if there is a solution.
I want to have vertical Recent Apps view without giving up the new navigation bar with the Swipe up on home button option. Please don't suggest Fluid, I hate it. I know you can disable Quickstep via ADB but there it goes this new navigation bar. Any other ways to preserve this and change the Recents view?
I'm at my wits end.
No idea what I've done. My status/notification bar automatically hides itself. Usually it's hidden on home screen only which is how I like it. Now, it hides everywhere and I have fullscreen gestures on so I swipe to go back, recents etc.
Android version 10
One UI version 2.1
Running Nova Launcher.
Nova settings: Look and Feel>Show notification bar On, Look and feel>transparent notification bar Off, transparent navigation bar On
Android settings:display>fullscreen apps>everything is set to auto, display>easy mode off,
Notifications>status bar>show notifications > 3 most recent. Each option behaves the same
Notifications>do not disturb Off
I think that's all the relevant settings.
How I'm used to it: status bar hides on home screen, open to app drawer or any app and it's displayed whilst in said app.
Cheers.
Just uninstalled Nova. Behaviour is still the same.
Have restored from backup now
