Snippets:

This is for Android 4.4+
Try out immersive mode https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
Fast snippet (for an Activity class):
private int currentApiVersion;
@Override
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
currentApiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
final int flags = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY;
// This work only for android 4.4+
if(currentApiVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
{
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(flags);
// Code below is to handle presses of Volume up or Volume down.
// Without this, after pressing volume buttons, the navigation bar will
// show up and won't hide
final View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
decorView
.setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener(new View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener()
{
@Override
public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility)
{
if((visibility & View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) == 0)
{
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(flags);
}
}
});
}
}
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus)
{
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
if(currentApiVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT && hasFocus)
{
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
}
}
If you have problems when you press Volume up or Volume down that your navigation bar show. I added code in onCreate
see setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener

Permanently hide Navigation Bar in an activity
AFAIK, this is not possible without root access. It would be a security issue to be able to have an app that cannot be exited with system buttons.
Edit, see here: Hide System Bar in Tablets
Android - hide status and navigation bar completely for an app with nav drawer and app bar
Update
The issue was with your layout file. I just set android:fitsSystemWindows=false
to fix the issue. I made a pull request to your repo, which I think solves your issue.
You should follow the following official documentations:
- Hide the status bar
- Hide the navigation bar
Hide the Status Bar on Android 4.0 and Lower
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// If the Android version is lower than Jellybean, use this call to hide
// the status bar.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
...
}
Hide the Status Bar on Android 4.1 and Higher
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide the status bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
// Remember that you should never show the action bar if the
// status bar is hidden, so hide that too if necessary.
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.hide();
Hide the Navigation Bar
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
