Hello!

How to hide the address bar in mobile browsers (iPhone android)?

I searched the internet and found examples of Java scripts. But I can not figure out where to insert the code. I tried to insert it into the main game class. But the result was not.

If someone is faced with this decision, or who knows, help me please.

Thank you!

DiscoFish: when you have javascript code specific to some platforms, you can add it to the index.html file, when your game is exported. You nedd to paste it in the <head> section.

Are you using a 'fullscreen in browser' mode? The browser should automatically hide its address bar in that case. You might be interested in supporting multiple screen sizes.

Sure, I used a 'fullscreen in browser' mode. I used the "scale mode" and "crop mode". I tested it on Android and iPhone. But the result is the same.

Screenshots from "crop mode"

Unfortunately I do not have iPhone, and so I can not take screenshots.

Can you help me please?

Please test the example

Download .capx

(only the image but I think this is enough to test)

Thanks!

i know that a way to hide the adressbar is by adding the site/app to the homescreen (for iphone), then when you launch it from the homescreen its gone

im not sure if there is a way to set it automatically

Ashley, A little bit unrelated, but do any of the native wrappers manage to hide the small black bar with time, battery, etc?
This is a must for professional looking apps.

I think I saw something about this on another topic, it seens you can remove the status bar on phonegap.

It would be great if "appmobi object" had that action included.

Considering Scirra seems to be aiming more towards Appmobi, it seems important that this feature be available within appmobi also.
