app screen is bigger than view on Android and WP

I am creating an App with Phonegap Desktop App and sometimes using Phonegap Build and I noticed that my site is correctly as big as my display.

Problem: The different devices have for example a status bar (clock, battery-status, etc.) and for example my Nexus has even a bottom bar with controlling buttons that are displayed over my Application. My (with css position:fixed) navbars are scrolling under these device-native-bars.

Any idea how to refuse this or subtract these bars? I can even see this if I have NO costum styles or styling libraries included.

Solution

  • To avoid this problem dont use fullscreen mode:

    <preference name="fullscreen" value="false" />
