Put this attribute on the main activity.

Code:

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

This will hide the activity title and the status bar making the activity fullscreen.

how do I put it on the main activity? Is this in main.xml?

No. Your activities are defined in AndroidManifest.xml.

The easiest, foolproof way to do it is to:

Open AndroidManifest.xml in Eclipse.
Click the Application tab at the bottom of the manifest editor.
In the list of Application Nodes, click your main (only?) activity. The attributes list that will appear next to Application Nodes.
Click Browse next to Theme.
Search for Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen.
Click OK. @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen should now appear as that activity's theme.
