Hi ,

I need to launch chromium in fullscreen in android. I tried flags --start-fullscreen and --kiosk. But all these flags are not working on android.

Is there any other way to launch chromium in fullscreen.

Regards

Himanshu

If you use the "Add to homescreen" feature, the created shortcut will open full screen.

Did you make changes to your Chromium?

Hi ,

I made few changes to support multicast in chromium . But those changes are not related to full screen issue

If I were you, I would try reverting the changes (and getting the latest revision of the code) and see if it works.

Also, check crbug.com for open issues (or recently fixed) issues regarding full screen, which may give you an idea of what is wrong.

Hi ,

On chromium code walkthrough I found that for flags "--start-fullscreen" and --kiosk to work it need to compile flile

/chrome/browser/ui/startup/startup_browser_creator_impl.cc

But this file is not compiled on chromium build on android because of chrome/browser/ui/BUILD.gn

if ((!is_android || use_aura) && !is_ios)

sources += rebase_path(gypi_values.chrome_browser_ui_non_mobile_sources,

".",

"//chrome")

This file is not included on android build.

Could anyone tell me know how to start browser in fullscreen.

Also when I am trying to do full screen after chromium launch then HTML5 gui is not scaled properly according to change in chromium fullscreen .

Is there any solution for this.

Regards

Himanshu
