kiosk mode or fullscreen API in chromium content/chrome shell on android

[Ingo Albers]

Hello,

for a project I would like to use a self built chromium browser. Content shell is enough for my needs as I only need to display one website, without any user interaction.

But I have the problem that I can not use the fullscreen API or kiosk mode.

For example on this site:

http://blogs.sitepointstatic.com/examples/tech/full-screen/index.html

Nothing happens in content or chrome shell, while in chrome on android it works.

I also tried to start chromium with the kiosk flag as explained here:

http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags

But kiosk mode doesn't seem to be supported under android as nothing happens when I tried it.

So my question is. Is there any way to achieve a full screen browsing experience using chromium content shell under android. (without address/menu/bar and without system bar)

Thanks for any input

The Full Screen API may work for your need. Did you try that?

Yes, I did. But it is not working in Content Shell or Chrome Shell under android. It only works in Chrome.

well, I managed to get full screen kiosk mode by tweaking the layout file src/content/shell/android/java/res/layout/shell_view.xml

<org.chromium.content_shell.Shell

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:id="@+id/container"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/toolbar"

        android:visibility="gone"
