title: How to Remove the Black bar from Layout in Android
body: <p>I am looking at the SurfaceViewOverlay example which comes with android-sdk. I am trying to remove the black bar which comes in the bottom. How can I do this ? The XML layout file looks like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- Here is where we put the SurfaceView, in a frame so that we can
           stack other views on top of it. --&gt;
      &lt;FrameLayout
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="0px"
              android:layout_weight="1"&gt;
  
          &lt;android.opengl.GLSurfaceView android:id="@+id/glsurfaceview"
                  android:layout_width="match_parent"
                  android:layout_height="match_parent" /&gt;
  
          &lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/hidecontainer"
                  android:orientation="vertical"
                  android:visibility="gone"
                  android:background="@drawable/translucent_background"
                  android:gravity="center"
                  android:layout_width="match_parent"
                  android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;
  
              &lt;Button android:id="@+id/hideme1"
                      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                      android:layout_gravity="center"
                      android:visibility="gone"
                      android:text="@string/hide_me"/&gt;
  
              &lt;Button android:id="@+id/hideme2"
                      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                      android:layout_gravity="center"
                      android:visibility="gone"
                      android:text="@string/hide_me"/&gt;
  
          &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  
      &lt;/FrameLayout&gt;
  
      &lt;LinearLayout
              android:orientation="horizontal"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_gravity="center"&gt;
  
          &lt;Button android:id="@+id/vis"
                  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="@string/visibility_1_vis"/&gt;
  
          &lt;Button android:id="@+id/invis"
                  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="@string/visibility_1_invis"/&gt;
  
          &lt;Button android:id="@+id/gone"
                  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="@string/visibility_1_gone"/&gt;
  
      &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
