full screen mode #214

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What should this feature enhancement do?
A command that could trigger a fullscreen mode for the plug-in

Are there any known workarounds that produce the similar results?
It is possible to emulate something like that with javascript but it's 
always inside the browser. Its not a true full screen.

How about client align it in the browser and hit F11 to get the browser to go 
full
screen. The code below turns off scrollbars and margins as well:

<body <body style="margin: 0px; overflow: hidden;">
    <div id="map3d_container" style="border: 1px solid #000; width: 100%; height:100%;">
      <div id="map3d" ></div>
    </div>
</body>

Well.
What I imagine is something like what you've got in youtube.
At first the plugin is a part of a bigger page with other contents.
Only with user intervention the fullscreen would show up.

But you can code all that using Javascript. I coded an example that places a 
full
screen toggle button in the ge window and that responds to full screen mode.

Have a look at this example: http://vandinther.googlepages.com/fullscreen.htm

Well, thanks for your time to set up an example!
But it really is not the same as the youtube videos full screen.
For instance, chrome doesn't have the F11 functionality. By the way how many 
people 
know about F11?
And in your example if you click on the fullscreen button and then resize the 
browser, the plugin returns to the initial dimensions.
That can be solved, but if your page is higher than the screen and there is a 
vertical scroll bar, when we do the full screen we get other problems. It get's 
messy 
and each browser behaves differently...
The main problem is that a plugin is always an alien object inside the browser 
and 
its difficult to make a plugin behave like a real DOM element. So I guess that 
the 
best solution to that would be for the plugin to have its own full screen 
implementation.

Yep, you are quite right. I am having to go through the pain to do full screen 
within
the context of a proper web-page and it is a real pain to implement. I have 
trouble
with DIV elements, adverts showing on top of the plugin and the body over flow 
acting up.

Please guys, Fullscreen support? Unless someone has solid code that works always
everywhere.

I have to said instead that the temporal solution that provides vandinhet is 
pretty good! thank you.

The vandinther fullscreen technique works fine in a webpage of mine, thank you. 
At
least under Firefox. But there is a problem rendering under IE6.

The html comment above the line before the html DOCTYPE statement (<!DOCTYPE 
html 
PUBLIC ...) is essential.  Without the comment IE6 renders the 
fullscreencontainer 
as 18 pixels high instead of the 100% it should be! Nuttiness like that we 
should not
have to deal with.

I mention this in case somebody else is having similar trouble or maybe can 
recommend
another way to make IE6 render the fullscreencontainer correctly without the 
comment
at the beginning.

Google Earth API Gadgets for your webpage should have a google earth gadget 
user 
option setting that allows the user to select an optional interface display 
control 
button layered ontop of the google earth api to switch to full screen and 
original 
size. If it's integrated in the gadget code it would make it ooohh-sooooo easy 
and 
nice to add a google earth api gadget to a webpage!!!

Google listen please, for the sake of us novices, add a full screen display 
button 
to google earth api!!! It was done for video player gadget, why not google 
earth 
gadget?

I support this idea of a fullscreen button native in GE API.

For those interested in fullscreen support, make sure to check out the 
experimental fullScreenAPI in progress for Firefox, Webkit, and Chrome:
