How to hide navigation bar in LibGDX?

libgdx, screen

Solution

I know it's an old question, but to anyone who finds their way here, libGDX now has a very easy way to do this. Simply set this field in the AndroidLauncher class.

config.useImmersiveMode = true;

Problem

Basically that's the question. What can I do to hide the navigation bar when I run an app in a phone that does not have physical home buttons? By the way I'm running android 5 (I don't know if that changes anything.) If you know how to do it please answer :)
