Some android phones have soft buttons (back, home, menu). I manage to hide them using setSystemUiVisibility
as described here.
However, how to make the softbuttons visible pragmatically?

You can use setSystemUiVisibility()
- Request that the visibility of the status bar or other screen/window decorations be changed.
SAMPLE CODE
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView tvTextView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tvTextView=findViewById(R.id.tvTextView);
tvTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
}

Setting View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE
worked for me.
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);

Use setUiVisibility()
.
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
This will unhide the hiddend soft buttons.
