Fully Kiosk Browser and 0.51.2

With all current app updates applied it works on a 2013 Nexus 7 (rooted) but not on a Fire 7 gen 5 (rooted) or Fire 7 Gen 7 (non rooted).

Checked with 0.52 and same deal.

Interestingly, if you pull the fully left menu out, you can faintly make out the home screen in HA. Even changing group tabs however shows the same home screen… so something is rendering.

Has anyone figured this out yet ?

Negative. There’s an open ticket regarding the issue, but without being able to find the root cause, no fix is in sight:

ideas welcome.

I think this is a problem with the engin the developers of the browsers use. If I use a random browser (Mercury) I get the same result as with FullyKiosk. But if I use Silk or Chrome (one of the updates for Chrome a few weeks ago fixed this) everything is loading fine.
The only problem with Chrome and Silk is, there is no fullscreenmode, so I loos most of the screen for naviation and status and browsertabs, so it is pritty unusable.
Not shure why, but FullyKiosk works on my old phone without a problem (maby a problem with not enough resources in the Firetablet?)

Maby there is a way to implement a fullscreenbutton in HA which overlays the whole browerser (like some slideshows do).

You can install the latest Android System WebView yourself. They are using the system WebView.

I suspect it’s permissions of some kind. Nothing shows up in console, which makes me think it’s not web socket related.

OK, had high hopes. So, is every Browser on Android using the same engine?
Is there a chance to make a simple glued together Android browser which can do fullscreen and it might work, or it dosnt cause rights from Google?

I run the chromium browser at startup in kiosk mode on my Pi

/usr/bin/chromium-browser --window-size=1024,768 --kiosk --window-position=0,0 https:<redacted> &

I get exactly the same problem. I have not had chance to look into it yet. I am on 0.53.1

I updated to 0.54.0 and it works!

So I use a File Tablet (7") and fullykiosk and in fullscreen everything works great!

Yup. Looks like this got fixed in 0.54. So upgrade if you have a problem.

My Fire Tablet 7 is also working again since updating to 0.54

Is anyone able to stream from the camera on Fully Kiosk? I am trying to replace Wallpanel with it but I want the camera. (trying not to use IP cam pro)

Has anyone had any issues with Fully Kiosk and HADashboard lately? For about the passed week now all of my dashboards show up zoomed in on my Fire HD 8

Is this popping up again? I have a tablet where I cannot get fully kiosk to work. Chrome is doing fine…

Good morning,
As of today the issue reappeared. I’ve updated fully to 1.34-fire on my fire hd 8. (5.3.6.4).

This happened once I’ve updated HA to 0.99

Any idea what I can do?

Same problem here…

Oh, really? I updated to 0.99.2 a couple days ago. After the update I found an old Samsung Galaxy Tab so decided to install Fully Kiosk Browser and all I get is a white screen.

I’ve fully updated Chrome on the Tab and that works completely fine. Do you have the same issue? As in… does it work on e.g. Chrome, just not on Fully Kiosk Browser? If so, maybe that needs an update as I’m guessing it should work since it also works in Chrome or am I wrong here?

First time user of Fully Kiosk Browser here, so not sure. Haven’t seen it work at all yet.

This problem is already solved in 0.99.3

I just upgraded to 0.99.3 from 0.99.2 and I’m using Fully Kiosk Browser 1.35.1.

It still isn’t working. I’m guessing my OS is too old. Using Android 4.4.2 here (and can’t officially upgrade from here).

Weird thing is though that everything works fine in Chrome.

I had the same issue with an old stock Android version.
Luckily I was able to upgrade to a newer version, thanks to LineageOS
