Is possible for an Android application to hide or disable window controls (for itself) such as orientation, minimize, close when running on ChromeOS?

Scenario 1
In Device Manager, I create Nexus One (or Nexus S) emulator with the default skin. The skin displays hardware buttons, the corresponding layout files have parts/.../buttons/... entries, software buttons are not displayed. But clicking on the hardware buttons does nothing.
Scenario 2
In Device Manager, I create custom emulator with custom skin. Near the skin selection controls, I press the How do I create a custom hardware skin? link. At the bottom of the page there is a link to page 2. I create my custom skin with hardware buttons as described on those two pages. But clicking on the hardware buttons does nothing.
Of course, I can use the buttons on the AVD toolbar, but it's less convenient.
I concisely described the problems in the screenshots; read the below description IF needed.
The bottom bar on the Android Emulator showing the three hardware buttons (square/circle/triangle = Overview/Home/Back, respectively) suddenly disappeared. They were there the night before. Next morning, poof! Gone.
Ok, so the three buttons don't show on the emulator. So then I use the SIDE PANEL which ALSO shows the hardware buttons. HOWEVER, the square Overview button (⌘O) (aka the App Switcher button) in the side panel DOESN'T WORK. This means I can't open the app switcher now (where you see all apps running in the background).
So the hardware buttons on the screen have disappeared, and the side panel (as a backup) that also has these buttons -- well, ITS square Overbutton button (⌘O) doesn't work, so the side panel is not helping either.
I used the AVD manager to add a replica of the device, and it fixed the issues, but then after some days, the same issue occurs again. I'm using MacOS.
Any suggestions? Thanks much!

Tl;dr: in AVD, edit your device, click "Change" on your hardware profile, then un-select "Has hardware buttons"
For me, this was all I was missing, and after a Cold Boot of my device the 3 hardware buttons showed on the bottom of the emulator again.
Official Android Studio documentation on hardware profile properties:
Input: Has Hardware Buttons
Select this option if your device has hardware navigation buttons.
Deselect it if these buttons are implemented in software only. If you
select this option, the buttons won’t appear on the screen. You can
use the emulator side panel to "press" the buttons, in either case.
If you're using AVD through Android Studio, I would check out the answer to this question, it seems to have more updated screenshots than a lot of answers on here: Android Studio emulator missing hardware buttons
Android Studio version: 2022.3.1
How do I make my Android Emulator (from Android Studio) stay on top?
Click on the three dots on the bottom of the side panel
Go to settings
Enable "Show window frame around device"
Now the standard ubuntu frame will appear at the top of the emulator. You can right-click on this and click on "Always on Top"
Installed android studio canary 4.0, but where to see the "Live updates" in Layout Inspector as in the copied screenshot (in my installed one there is no such checkBox?
Open Settings windows from File menu, Click Experimental
settings, you can able to view the menu 'Enable Live Layout Inspector'. Enable the checkbox and Apply the settings.
you can able to view the Layout Inspector window in bottom right of
Android studio prefer to Event Log window.
At the top of Layout Inspector window, you have the Live updates control.
.
You have to opt into it since its currently experimental. In android studio go to Preferences > Experimental > Layout Inspector, and enable live layout inspector. Then restart studio and you should see a Layout Inspector tab on the bottom right of studio.
I am developing one UWP app where I want on screen to be launched on button click. I want to deploy app in surface tab.
Keyboard is getting visible in Tablet mode when text box is being focused but not in desktop mode.
In UWP System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(".exe") is also not permissible.
So ultimately I am thinking to use button to launch on screen keyboard.
Is there any way to do that?
Kindly helping me out?
It seems you can run .exe in UWP using FullTrustProcessLauncher. So run osk.exe to open on-screen keyboard. Check the above link for more info.
