Red face [APP] Honey Hide Widget V3.0!(hides system bar)

Hey guys I forgot who had requested a widget to show/hide the system bar In Honey Comb, but here it is! I had a couple people test it before I released it to the market. This is to be used by people who use the Hardware Buttons in HoneyComb. Enjoy

March 18, 2012

Version 3.0 has been released! It includes a smaller widget (1×1) that was requested by users as well as the ability to restore the status bar when the screen turns off. The latter feature allows the widget to be used by more devices that do not have hardware keys.

Along with version 3.0 I have also released a donate version. This version is exactly the same as the free version but costs one dollar for those who feel generous!

You can download it on the android market place by clicking Here for free and Here for donate

Feb 13, 2012
Version 2.0 brings along a new layout as well as more reliable code!
https://market.android.com/details?i...lara.honeyhide



And just incase someone trys this without hardware buttons and opens an app while the bar is hidden the command you can run to get your bar back is:
Code:
am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService
If you feel like donating all money will be put towards my school loans

Thanks Victor, works very well and I really like the looks of the screen without the bar

Edit: can the icon be themed?

This is a lot better than honeybar which gets in the way. Thanks!

Unfortunately, htc scribe apps still don't like the removed bar. Good for watching video and reading pdfs though.

EDIT: I have a small request. Can you please make the buttons or hitboxes a little bigger? Sometimes it takes a frustratingly large amount of touches to register a show or hide.

Actually, in that line, I would simply suggest a one-cell toggle (on or off). It was a somewhat curious decision to make two buttons instead of an on/off toggle.
