javascript - Fullscreen Web App for Android

Question

I want to run my Web App, which i programmed with HTML5, in fullscreen mode on Android. (hide the status bar, and the adress/navigation bar)

for iOS you only write:

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /> 
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

But that did not work on Android.

There are a lot of solution′s with Javascript, but all solutions which I tried are inoperative.

Somebody know the solution?

Answer 1

This worked for me on Chrome for Android.

Add this to the head tags:

<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

Then in the chrome browser menu, Goto Add to Homepage. This Icon will now open your website up in fullscreen.
