Solution 1:

What you are trying to achieve is called immersive fullscreen mode, it is possible to do it from android 4.4, but it seems that Titanium don't support the flag; there is a module that does this thing, haven't personally tried it but probably will do what you need.

Solution 2:

In the tiapp.xml file:

<fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
<navbar-hidden>true</navbar-hidden>

In the app.tss or index.tss:

'Window':{
    navBarHidden:true,
    tabBarHidden:true,
    fullscreen:true
}

And in the index.js:

$.index.addEventListener("open",function() {

    if(OS_ANDROID) $.index.activity.actionBar.hide();
});

Solution 3:

What you want is possible since Titanium 5.2 by using <fullscreen>true</fullscreen> in tiapp.xml.
