Detect full-screen application

Post by Nerey » 16 Apr 2014 11:38

I can't find way to determine if any application comes into full-screen mode.
Is there solution?

It's currently not possible to detect if an app is fullscreen. I have to check if there's even an API to detect this. I add it to the todo-list but I can not promise anything.

It's sad
If it will help you, there is an application Battery Overlay Percent. It can detect when an application change mode - normal and full-screen? For example, FBReader can change it without restart.

Hi Martin
I am looking for such feature too.
I want to display overlay widget on the Statusbar position, but only when none of the apps is running in a fullscreen mode.
Can I use "UI event" trigger to check, if an app is running in fullscreen mode?
I have found info about fullscreen variable in the triggers description, but I can not get it to work :(
Regards, piskor
