Auto Fullscreen

[Thomas]

Will there be a Fullscreen-Support so that the address-bar of mobile browsers will disapear?

Hello,

The address bar should be hidden on iOS devices. After numerous attempts we discovered that hiding it on android causes more troubles than benefits - it will be disabled for the final release. 

However, the hiding of the address bar in iOS is not 100% reliable, as it relies on series of scrolling hacks. 

If it does not work for you, can you share your device/os version?

All the best,

I am testing on a iphone iOS v5.1  (iphone 3) and the address will not hide.

When I comment out the code that initializes the mobile application the address will hide appropriately so I think it has something to do with the initialization of the application and the meta tags it is adding.

**Correction, i fixed my issue by removing a CSS rule that I had imposed because the DROID version was not respecting the device size

Before:

body { height:100% !important; }  /*currently required to ensure automatic sizing of screen view*/

Remove this CSS rule solved my issue (with the iOS as least, still have DROID sizing issues)

Here is my workarround to hide the navbar in iOS:

$(document).ready(function () {
    if (lat == null) {
        lat = "";
        lng = "";
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
    }
    // iPhone / iPod Detection
    var deviceAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    var agentID = deviceAgent.match(/(iphone|ipod)/);
    if (agentID) {
        $("#body").css("min-height", "418px");
        setTimeout(function () {
            try { window.scrollTo(0, 1); } catch (e) { }
        }, 0);
    }
});

In the html-code, I added this two lines:

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent" />

Is this expected to work with latest release? I don't see it working on my IPad 6.0.1

Hi Thomas,

Address bar cannot be hidden on iPad, the browser doesn't support it as there is enough space for the site. The feature is enabled only on small screen iOS devices (iPhone, iPod).

@Iulian: No, Kendo UI Mobile doesn't support address bar hiding on Android as it is unreliable and buggy across the different Android versions and devices.

Kind regards,
