Hi

So just trying to work out how to display an EWB App in "Full Screen"  in Safari (IPad)

By that I mean make use of the full screen without any browser address bar etc. etc.

Are there any ways to accomplish this .. or tweaks with EWB ?

Best Regards

You can use Phonegap to create an app. Easy with Android because you can deploy the apk file.
For ios it's different. Google for that.

The proper way is to create an icon on your home screen. That dispenses with the address bar IIRC. There may be other meta properties you can add too. Ages since I did this.

Hi

Thanks for the responses.

so after adding the following to the default html file that EWB produces after the head tag;

<meta name="viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 1.0, minimum-scale = 1, maximum-scale = 1, user-scalable = no" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="MyApp" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />

The code has no effect. Maybe I am using it wrong ?

Perhaps it *cannot* work for IPads and is just for mobile phones etc.

thanks

To be clear, you mean within the head tag yes? I cannot remember if you have to create the icon on the desktop to have this take effect.
