Is there any functions in EWB that I can call to make the webapp go full screen on a mobile device?

Is there a demo app that shows how it's done?

Thanks,
Kim

Yes, that works great either on Android or IOS - you asked quite the
same question a while ago Smileand there are some useful answers:

Here some screenshots of one of my web apps:

I was hoping that there was a setting in EWB or a simple demo, because I can not get it to work with the link information you send me.

I added this to the head
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

That don't change anything.

Please describe what you tried step by step.
Android or IOS?

Did you add a shortcut to your homescreen?
If not google for "ios web app add to homescreen" or "android web app
add to homescreen".

Android and iOS

Everything I find is about JS and I have no idea how to create or call a JS from EWB. I was hoping that EWB had a plugin that I could use.

Kim,

You don't need to make any JS calls.  It's simply about adding a manifest file and modifying the HTML that EWB generates.

For example, this is for Android:

https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/installtohomescreen

<< I was hoping that EWB had a plugin that I could use. >>

EWB will support this in the compiler output, but I just haven't been able to make time for it yet.

Thanks, Tim.
The icon files do they go into the same directory as the EWB html file?

Kim,

My understanding is that all files specified in the manifest, and the manifest itself, need to be in the same output directory as the HTML/JS.  At the very least, that's how I would do it to ensure that they always get picked up properly during deployment.
