I thought I post up these examples on hiding the address bar since there is NOT a lot on the forum or tutorials to help cover this. I tested these and they work well with Android (except Chrome browser).

Place the following JavaScript in your index.html,

inside the <body> tag.

I use the first 2 together

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one works when device rotates

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    	<script>

function hideAddressBar(){

if(document.documentElement.scrollHeight<window.outerHeight/window.devicePixelRatio)

    document.documentElement.style.height=(window.outerHeight/window.devicePixelRatio)+'px';

setTimeout(window.scrollTo(1,1),0);

}

window.addEventListener("load",function(){hideAddressBar();});

window.addEventListener("orientationchange",function(){hideAddressBar();});

</script>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        <script>
		

if(navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)){

    window.scrollTo(0,1);

}

</script>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<script>

function hideAddressBar()

{

if(!window.location.hash)

{

      if(document.height < window.outerHeight)
      {
          document.body.style.height = (window.outerHeight + 50) + 'px';
      }

      setTimeout( function(){ window.scrollTo(0, 1); }, 50 );

}

}

window.addEventListener("load", function(){ if(!window.pageYOffset){ hideAddressBar(); } } );

window.addEventListener("orientationchange", hideAddressBar );

</script>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one triggers with a timeout function.

<Script>

// When ready...

window.addEventListener("load",function() {

// Set a timeout...

setTimeout(function(){

    // Hide the address bar!
     window.scrollTo(0, 1);

}, 0);

});

<Script>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good Luck with it and give me a thumbs up :)
