Is there a way to create an Android Web Application like on the iPhone?
Using the "apple-mobile-web-app-capable" meta tag in the head element of an HTML page, it informs the Apple iOS that the application can be installed to the users springboard so that it starts the Safari Mobile browser without a menu bar.
Chrome on Android now supports a meta-tag
mobile-web-app-capable
:For details about the
mobile-web-app-capable
meta-tag, scroll down to "Supporting homescreen-installed apps prior to M39":While I don't have any devices running Chrome M31 that I could test with, I interpret this to mean that full-screen web apps, with an icon on the device's homescreen, are supported as far back as Chrome M31, provided you use that
mobile-web-app-capable
meta tag.Since Chrome31+ home screen web apps are also supported on Android. See here.
Use jQuery, you can see if the height of the content is greater than the viewport height. If not, then you can make it that height.

I don't believe so.
However, it would be fairly trivial to detect if a browser is an Android device, and show a link to a Android Market app (or directly to the APK)
As Android has a WebView widget, it's pretty trivial to write an app that loads a dedicated website, or that somehow wraps offline content (either downloaded at first-launch, or shipped in the assets folder)
You can create shortcuts to bookmarks (=any web page) on the homescreen.
