android - requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) exception

Question

I am setting a specific activity full screen when the use hits a START button.

In this case the showStopButton() is called .

It's running fine. But if I insert

 requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); 

then it crashes , stating that it should be call before adding content.

How should I handle it to set NO_TITLE w the FULL_SCREEN ??

    private void showStopButton(){

    // requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
    getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.content).requestLayout();

    // handle element visibility
((Button)findViewById(R.id.stopButton)).setEnabled(false);
    ((Button)findViewById(R.id.startButton)).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    ((Button)findViewById(R.id.stopButton)).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    ((SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar1)).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    ((Button)findViewById(R.id.resetButton)).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    ((Button)findViewById(R.id.saveButton)).setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

I have the reverse process when the START button is redisplayed , and it's running back fine In this case I remove the fullscreen mode

     private void showStartButton(){

        getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
        getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.content).requestLayout();
        ....
    }

it's so simple ... I just need to hide the ActionBar... then show it when back to standard screen...

   private void showStopButton(){
        getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
        ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
        actionBar.hide();
        getWindow().findViewById(android.R.id.content).requestLayout();
