Add abilitity to toggle XBMC fullscreen,

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of XBMC Remote are you using?

v0.8.7-beta1

Which Android device are you using (and which ROM, if custom)?

HTC Desire HD MIUI 1.9.9 v2

Which XBMC revision are you running and on which platform?

XBMC 10. Git:e9e9099

As far as I know this is the only feature I miss in this lovely remote. 

From time to time I use my HTPC for other things than watching movies or series 
on XBMC. I normally control the input on the HTPC using Synergy and my laptops 
keyboard and mouse but when its movie time I usually move it out of the way. I 
would absolutely love it if the app could let me toggle fullscreen so I don't 
have to use my laptop or my stowed away wireless keyboard.

This is of course not a defect but "Enhancement" but I couldn't find a way to 
mark it as that.

don't you need your keyboard/mouse(or synergy) anyway if you're going to work 
on the pc in the background?

It's a HTPC which is mostly used for watching TV-Shows and movies. If I have 
sent XBMC out of fullscreen to check something I can use Unified Remote to open 
XBMC again but I still can't toggle full screen. Which means I have to either 
turn on my laptop or go get my rarely used keyboard out of the closet. These 
two alternatives does not compute well with an impatient girlfriend who thinks 
my HTPC-setup is too fancy and would rather want me to just double click the 
files from Windows Explorer *chills* :-)

Yes, I would all love it if this feature/button could be added. There are times 
when I need full screen or window mode and no way to press the Backslash key.  
Please add this feature if possible.  Thank you.

I would also love that feature. In the meantime there's a workaround, though:

In XBMC, configure a key that is available on your Android's keyboard. I 
already had "f" set to ToggleFullScreen (see 
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keyboard.xml and the attachment).

Now you can long-press the menu key to display the Android keyboard, while you 
are in XBMC Remote's Remote screen, and if you press "f", XBMC toggles the 
fullscreen mode.
