S355, the screen presents the system bar and the screen Appropriately reduce the content of the currently rendered content. Steps S345 and S355 may be sequentially performed with reference to the presentation variations of FIGS. 5B and 5A, respectively. When the system bar appears on the screen, it is convenient for the user to perform further operations or view related information.

S360, the screen presents a system bar and the screen overwrites a portion of the currently rendered content presented with the system bar. The sequential execution of steps S345 and S360 may refer to the presentation variations of Figures 4B and 4A, respectively. Referring to FIG. 4A, after receiving the second input, the presentation manner of the currently presented content is not changed, and only part of the content 46 of the display area of the system bar in FIG. 4B is hidden in FIG. 4A.

After the second input is detected, the presentation results in S355 and S360 are different. The difference is due to the difference in the preset presentation results for the currently presented content. Similar to the list of FIG. 4B, the currently presented content may also include emails, short messages, contacts, web pages, and the like. The interface including the above content, since the presentation method after receiving the second input has been preset, the presentation result as shown in FIG. 4A is presented in S360.

The interface including the above content, since the presentation method after receiving the second input has been preset, the presentation result as shown in FIG. 5A is presented in S755.

Specifically, in the case of S755, when the system bar is displayed, the currently presented content will suddenly shrink and leave a black border, but the system bar will slowly move up until it is completely rendered, resulting in an inconsistent animation, thereby affecting the user experience. You can set the return animation of the system bar to 0 by directly modifying the selectAnimationLw parameter of PhoneWindowManager, so that the application window and system bar are adjusted in place at the same time.

After S755 or S760, the method further includes detecting the preset time by S770 or S780S770.

When the system bar is called out, or displayed, the system internal timer starts counting, and step S770 is to determine whether the time counted by the timer reaches the preset time (the parameter of "how long the system bar is automatically hidden" in the above code) ). If the result is "Yes", then step S720 or S730 is performed.

If the result of S770 is "NO", then S775 is executed, NO, re-timed, and returning to step S725 to continue detecting the preset time.

S780, detecting the first input. When the first input is detected, that is, YES at S780, S720 or S730 is executed.

This first input is the same as the first input in the previous embodiment, and will not be described here.

Specifically, the maximum Max and the minimum Min width and height of a set of navigation bars can be added in the PhoneWindowManager, and the navigation bar is displayed with a Max width and height display. When the navigation bar needs to be hidden, the Min width and height are displayed (actually the entire navigation bar orientation) Move outside the screen so that the navigation bar only displays the width and height of Min on the screen). Add revaluation in the window management function (WindowManagerFuncs) interface The method of rebarluateStatusBarSize to refresh the width and height of the navigation bar. This method is implemented in the window management service (WindowManagerService). Add an event broadcast receiver to PhoneWindowManager to process the event that triggers the width and height of the navigation bar. When the width of the navigation bar needs to change, call the reevaluateStatusBarSize method to refresh the window. In the event processing of the system user interface SystemUI, a broadcast message that triggers the display of the navigation bar is added (when the navigation bar is hidden, the navigation bar of the Min width is still in the visible area of the screen, so the message can still be received).

In addition, when the user initiates the second input, the NavigationBarPolicy will trigger the system bar popup after recognizing the gesture, but the second input will also be sent to the currently active application, and if the user raises the position at the time, there is a button. This can result in a situation where the user has two or more valid responses in one operation. Specifically, gesture filtering can be added to the DeliveryPointerEvent method of ViewRootImpl. When the system bar is hidden, a series of action events that are drawn from a certain pixel area below the screen are filtered out, so that the current application does not respond to the second input. .

In addition, in order to further improve the user experience, you can set the horizontal bar in the application such as the gallery, the system bar can still remain on the right, and support automatic hiding. When the auto-hide system bar is turned on, the navigation bar is automatically hidden when it is turned on or just unlocked. You can also modify the transparency of the system bar and set the system bar to a translucent effect, so that the interface is more beautiful when the navigation bar is overlaid on the application.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the screen range used by the user may be maximized as much as possible, and the system bar is automatically hidden after the user does not operate for a certain period of time. And the size of the display area available to the app can be set to be unchanged when the system bar is displayed and hidden, so that it can be better compatible with third-party applications. Moreover, the method of the above embodiment modifies the Android system with a small amount of code and is easy to implement.
