Thank you sir !
I added following in the manifest.xml
        <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name"
                android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
                android:screenOrientation="landscape">
....
and the application is full screen enabled !
as you correctly said ... by this mechanism i am able to see the full
screen effect immediately ... whereas previously i used to see the
titlebar for fraction of second!

well ... i am developing an application which would run on an android
device (and not the android phone!) ...
so i want the application to start immediately after the device is
powered on (and booted successfully)
i am planning to show the battery strength , n/w strength etc on the
home screen of my application ...
lets see ...

thanks a lot for the help !
