I miss being able to hide the default android status bar displayed on top of the running monkey app. You know the bar that shows battery charge etc.

You can add:

android:theme= "@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

to the AndroidManifest.xml in the activity section.

e.g.

<activity android:name= "MonkeyGame"
android:label= "@string/app_name"
android:theme= "@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

Also you can force the screen orientation this way:

<activity android:name="MonkeyGame"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:screenOrientation="landscape"
          android:theme= "@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
