Kiosk Mode

If you have a real world kiosk application that you want to run on Google Chrome, then below are the steps to take to simulate kiosk mode.

Steps to Simulate Kiosk Mode

Step 1

Compile the following Java code:

import java.awt.*;import java.applet.*;import java.security.*;import java.awt.event.*;publicclassFullScreenextendsApplet{publicvoid fullScreen(){AccessController.doPrivileged(newPrivilegedAction(){publicObject run(){try{Robot robot=newRobot();                  robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F11);}catch(AWTException e){                  e.printStackTrace();}returnnull;}});}}

Step 2

Include it in an applet on your kiosk application's home page:

<appletname="appletFullScreen"code="FullScreen.class"width="1"height="1"></applet>

Step 3

Add the following to the kiosk computer's java.policy file:

grant codeBase "http://yourservername/*"{   permission java.security.AllPermission;};

Step 4

Include the following JavaScript and assign thedoLoad function to theonload event:

var _appletFullScreen;function doLoad(){   _appletFullScreen= document.applets[0];   doFullScreen();}function doFullScreen(){if(_appletFullScreen&& _appletFullScreen.fullScreen){// Add an if statement to check whether document.body.clientHeight is not// indicative of full screen mode      _appletFullScreen.fullScreen();}}
