    Hi! I am new to unity, when I test a game on android, the bottom navigation bar of android is hidden by default. Does anyone know how I can do to show the bar permanently? Thank you!

    This is the underlying API you need to use:

    These are probably the classes in Unity to help you do this from C# scripts in Unity:

    https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AndroidJavaObject.html
    https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AndroidJavaClass.html

    Honestly I would first google around and see if you can find someone else who already made something and put it on a website! Before Unity started hiding this, it was pretty common to have this code to make it go away.

    You might even find a setting in your Unity Project Settings -> Player Settings windows... not sure.
