Disabling Contextual Action Bar Crosswalk-Cordova

Contextual Action Bar (CAB) won't disable using Crosswalk as a plugin in Cordova.
Tried everything, starting with the CSS, all the way through HTML & JavaScript, and even MainActivity.java & XWalkCordovaView.java.
I must disable the Contextual Action Bar. It cannot show up. It's messing my entire app. It needs to be gone, completely. Or at least, I settle with not seeing it in my app.
Here are some pictures:
As you see, we need to select text and show that toolbar (the black one, and disable the blue contextbar, prevent it from showing at all). It's not allowing us to use our toolbar. I mean, with Contextual Action Bar, NO WYSIWYG will work nicely.
I even have problems with the arrow select, which I'd like to disable as well, or at least change the color, or not mess up the sidenav.
So, what I tried:
MainActivity.java
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set by <content src="index.html" /> in config.xml
loadUrl(launchUrl);
// disable the context menu and all long clicks
super.appView.getView().setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
public boolean onLongClick(View v)
{ return true; }
});
super.appView.getView().setLongClickable(false);
}
}

Now, please, I need to disable the Contextual Action Bar when I select some text. Thank you so much in advance. I've searched the whole web and nothing seems to work.
I've filled an issue on Crosswalk Project's Issues:

Hiding / disabling navigation bar on android 4.4.4

I'm developing a app for a specific tablet running android 4.4.4. Users aren't allowed to close the app. I hoped there was a way to completely hide or disable the navigation bar but I can't seem to find a solution. I've already tried to use the method explained on Using Immersive fullscreen but is doesn't seem to have any effect. Any suggestions?

You can hide the navigation bar using the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION flag.
Try this code
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);

android full screen an activity and hide key bar

i am new in android programming!
i want a full screen image like Hill Climb Racing (as you can see below)
i try to use
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
but it just disappear action bar and i want to disappear both action bar and android default key bar (home button, back and the another one)

If you are targeting android 4.0 and higher
View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
// Hide both the navigation bar and the status bar.
// SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN is only available on Android 4.1 and higher, but as
// a general rule, you should design your app to hide the status bar whenever you
// hide the navigation bar.
int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);

try this in your activity on the manifest
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

How to set dynamic created action bar to bottom?

To create a navigation bar, I have dynamically create an action bar:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
}
And add tabs one by one:
// Create first Tab
tab = actionBar.newTab().setTabListener(new FragmentsTab1());
// Create your own custom icon
tab.setIcon(R.drawable.tab1_hdpi);
actionBar.addTab(tab);
The problem is , the action bar is at the top by default. How can I placed it at the bottom? I found layout_below may be suitable for this case . However , as it generates dynamically, how can I know its ID? Thanks a lot.
Edited:
After adding split option, it doesn't make any changes, is it due to my action bar is dynamically generated?
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"
package="com.example.tabtest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
And
<activity
android:name="com.example.tabtest.MainActivity"
android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"
android:label="#string/app_name" >

Add this to your activity tag in the Minifest
uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"

You haven't really answered the OP's question.. I'm searching for an answer as well since it looks like the custom bar always gets placed top and default menu bar on bottom if I use this code to bring the custom view:
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
// displaying custom ActionBar
View mActionBarView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom,
null);
actionBar.setCustomView(mActionBarView);
actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);
:(

With Android 5.0 API, uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" is deprecated. Unfortunately, this is not very well documented as yet. For details, you can read up this article.

Android status bar stays

In my onCreate() method, I use this code to remove the status bar:
// Remove the status bar from the top
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
Yet when I start up the app, I can still see the status bar for like a second. How can I prevent this?

Add the following attribute to the activity in the manifest:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

you must use requestWindowFeature before setting the content view
