Google VR Unity Divider, Settings And Back Button Hiding In V0.9

Does anyone know how to disable the Divider, settings and back button in the latest google vr sdk for unity? I've tried setting NativeUILayerSupported to false and putting a return

Solution 1:

For iOS try to change following: In Unity, Plugins/iOS/CardboardAppController.mm ->

@implementation CardboardAppController

- (UnityView *)createUnityView {
  UnityRegisterViewControllerListener(self);
  UnityRegisterAudioPlugin(UnityGetAudioEffectDefinitions);
  UnityView* unity_view = [super createUnityView];
  //createUiLayer(self, (UIView *)unity_view); <- comment this line
  return unity_view;
}

Solution 2:

Try to disable the settings on your Cardboard script under UI Layer Settings to false.

Do this from the interface and not from code.

Solution 3:

I am using the Google VR SDK for Android not the Google VR Unity and this is my solution:

In android, the deprecated method to hide two buttons is

// called by VrView
setSettingsButtonEnabled(false);

Since now can't use it, so just find this two buttons and hide it myself:

findViewById(R.id.ui_back_button).setVisibility(GONE);
findViewById(R.id.ui_settings_button).setVisibility(GONE);

Solution 4:

@PerryHart i was stuck in same problem while using Google VR SDK. Problem is in latest versions of GVR SDK there is no interfacing to disable buttons and other UI Layers. But Google VR SDK 0.8 and less then 0.8 gives interface through which you can do it easily.

To disable these layers from code is quiet complex and i lost my 2 weeks to do this stuff through code in version GVR 1.xx.

You can download Google VR SDK 0.8.1 from here.

My Scenario :

• Gvr-Ar App with Gvr for just The Gyroscope (Gvr Eyes aint Rendering a thing, using own Cameras)
• Commented the Whole Post Renderer Class ( wich also means i dont have lens disortion calculated, and can use the full screen without the lens shape on the cameras)

What worked for me ( using gvr 1.3 ) :

go into the AndroidDevice.cs Script and comment the Following Lines marked with some ###

I have a wierd Scenario, so if you have the vr mode enabled and this does not work you could try also commenting the body of the SetVRModeEnabled() Function
