hideSystemUI method is deprecated ?

You can add a API version check and if you're using API 30+ try out window insets, refer to this video to learn more about
window insets and medium post here

I have to admit, insets still feel like a mess and still have a lot of question regarding how to migrate and replace all the window flags with insets. Personally I'd I've managed to achieve the following use-case by doing the following:

/**
 * Hides both status bar and navigation bar
 */
fun FragmentActivity.hideStatusBarAndNavigationBar() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
        WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, true)
        val controller = ViewCompat.getWindowInsetsController(window.decorView)

        // swipe in system bars, this is now sticky immersive
        controller?.systemBarsBehavior =
            WindowInsetsControllerCompat.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE

        // hide status and navigation bar
        controller?.hide(WindowInsets.Type.systemBars())
    } else {
        // Until I figure out how to hide status bar and nav pre android R using insets
        @Suppress("DEPRECATION")
        window.decorView.systemUiVisibility =
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION or
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
    }
}

As my comments suggestion the insets work for everything except for hiding status bar in pre-android R so instead since I only use insets if the current version is API 30+

Hope this will also help you! 😄
