If you add a page to your home screen, it will open in full screen mode when you tap on the home screen icon.

There's no flag for that on Android AFAIK. You can try using the WebappLauncherActivity (which is used by the page shortcuts).

You should be able to launch the activity via adb with something like:

adb shell am start -n com.android.chrome/.webapps.WebappManager.ACTION_START_WEBAPP "url"

If you need anything more specific, you can add your own activity inheriting from FullscreenActivity which is the base for WebappActivity.

What are you trying to achieve altogether?

Hi ,

Thank You .

I build the chromium source code and installed the generated apk on google box ( android 5.1 ).

I want that when I click on chromium apk then browser window should open in full screen with a specific URL given by me ( e.g www.facebook.com).

On launch of chromium address bar or URL bar should hide automatically.

Do you mean Android TV (e.g. Nexus Player) when you say Google Box?

Why don't you just build your own app using Android WebView?

Hi Himanshu,

I have added a chrome short cut to my home screen with the name "test". It points to a test site http://192.168.1.8/index.html. I tried to launch it using the command you posted earlier:

adb shell am start -n com.android.chrome/.webapps.WebappManager.ACTION_START_WEBAPP "http://192.168.1.8/index.html"

it generates the following:

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://192.168.1.8/index.html cmp=com.android.chrome/.webapps.WebappManager.ACTION_START_WEBAPP }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.android.chrome/com.android.chrome.webapps.WebappManager.ACTION_START_WEBAPP} does not exist.

I am using chrome 52.0.2743.98 with Android 4.4.2.

Please advise.

thanks.
