[FEATURE] Full screen toggle for Android tablets

[ransur0t]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Due to lack of full screen mode for Chrome browser on Android, unable to toggle reader to use full screen.

Describe the solution you'd like

Toggle for full screen mode in Stump web reader.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Haven't explored alternative browsers yet to see if they support full screen mode on Android.

Additional context

Issue created in response to Discord support chat!

I have a similar feature request with ios devices. I think that the 'add to home screen' provided by safari on iOS could be used for this as other self hosted apps (specifically thinking of mealie) do this where once added to the home screen then opening the app there opens in a full screen window with no browser decorations. I would assume that mealie works the same on android so this could maybe be a cross platform solution? When I try the same thing with my self hosted stump website then clicking the app icon that is created just opens the website back in the default browser app. I wish I knew more about frontend dev to say how this is done but either way having a similar ability in stump to be able to hide browser decorations and get true fullscreen mode while reading would be amazing!

I think this might be a different request, but honestly I'm not sure. I've definitely used this feature on my phone, but I haven't had a web app which doesn't just open in my default browser. A cursory glance led me here, so perhaps it is possible.

Hopefully by 2026 though a proper PoC mobile app can be more developed

@RileyMathews The latest nightly build should have the meta tag that enables this, if you'd like try it out. If it doesn't work as expected, or you have follow-up questions, I'd say lets open a different issue.

That seemed to work at first but then after moving to view the detail page for a book the embedded safari browser controls came up and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them... so not sure what is going on there. If you want to move this issue into another thread I would be up for that. And if you don't have the energy to put into researching it right now I can try to work on myself. I'm not a frontend expert but have done enough that I feel I could figure it out given enough time.

Ah alright, yeah I probably should have tested it more but was eating lunch. Taking another look, it looks like the controls pop up whenever you navigate anywhere.

Yeah let's create another issue to capture any further discussions around this, and if you have the time / energy to try and look into figuring out what might be happening I'd definitely appreciate it! No worries if not, I'll try to get to it at some point

Thanks for starting on this and keeping us informed. Not urgent on my end as well, yet it would certainly improve the reading experience on my Galaxy Tab ... cheers, Lance
