How do I get the height of the address bar in JavaScript in the Chrome browser for Android (marked by red rectangle in left picture)? I need to know that as it disappears while scrolling down and I need to react to that because the viewport height is different then.
One solution I already figured out:
Get viewport height at initial state:
var height = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight || 0);
Get viewport height when the address bar has disappeared
Compute difference between both values
Problem is that you have to be in the second state to know that.
Best approach for me was to have something like that:
$(document).ready(function(){
var viewportHeight = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight || 0);
var viewportWidth = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth || 0);
var isPortrait = viewportHeight > viewportWidth;
$( window ).resize(onresize);
function onresize() {
var newViewportHeight = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight || 0);
var newViewportWidth = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth || 0);
var hasOrientationChanged = (newViewportHeight > newViewportWidth) != isPortrait;
var addressbarHeight = 130;
if (!hasOrientationChanged && (newViewportHeight != viewportHeight)) {
addressbarHeight = Math.abs(newViewportHeight - viewportHeight);
if (newViewportHeight < viewportHeight) {
// Android Chrome address bar has appeared
} else {
// Android Chrome address bar has disappeared
}
} else if(hasOrientationChanged) {
// Orientation change
}
viewportHeight = newViewportHeight;
viewportWidth = newViewportWidth;
isPortrait = viewportHeight > viewportWidth;
}
});
