Full Screen Control in the map - here-api

Is there a Fullscreen control like in Gmaps? I have read the docs but did not found anything?
Even it's important for the mobiles.

If you are using the HERE JavaScript SDK, then you will have to set the size of the map div to the size of your fullscreen (the map will always take the size of its containing div).
See examples here:
https://developer.here.com/documentation/examples/maps-js
If you are using HERE mobile SDKs,then the map is by default rendered in full screen.

I'm creating the splash images for my app but I've got some questions:
Can I create of all them at once? I've seen some repos for this but
there are not updated with new sizes (e.g 2048x1536)
Would be possible to use the same image for different sizes?
My phone is 1920x1080 but there is no splash screen size for that so it takes one and applies a disproportionate image. If I've got
text on it it looks really badly.
What happens with the rest of images when I build? Meteor removes the rest? Are located in resources/splash.
Could be possible to use a html with css page?
Thanks in advance!
Next time you should consider splitting your questions into independent posts.
Creating splash images: if your image is simple enough, indeed you have many scripts that can generate the different sizes automatically. I am sure you can customize them to fit your sizes.
Use the same image for different sizes: in general, that would mean your image will be stretched by the device to fill the screen. On Android, you can define a 9-patch PNG that will tell the device which pixels can be stretched, so that some part(s) of your image is not deformed.
Deformed image for 1920x1080 screen: depending on the pixel density, there should very probably be a placeholder for that.
Storage of image versions: by default, all versions (i.e. sizes) are packaged within your APK / APP, so that whatever the device needs will be available once user has downloaded the app.
Using an HTML+CSS page for splash screen: in general, no, but it depends on what you want to do with your splash screen. Meteor calls it "launch screen", because it is the first thing it displays while the app is loading / "launching". In particular, the WebView and local server may not be ready yet, and cannot serve any HTML/CSS. That is why you have to use a plain image, which is passed to a very simple activity while the app is loading. But some people also use a "waiting screen" between some parts of their app. In that case, your WebView and local server are already loaded, and you can simply use whatever you want.
Update:
For Android, if 9-patch PNG does not fit your need, you can also try to request Cordova's splashscreen plugin to maintain the aspect ratio of your image:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/#preferences
<preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true" />
"SplashMaintainAspectRatio" preference is optional. If set to true, splash screen drawable is not stretched to fit screen, but instead simply "covers" the screen, like CSS "background-size:cover". This is very useful when splash screen images cannot be distorted in any way, for example when they contain scenery or text. This setting works best with images that have large margins (safe areas) that can be safely cropped on screens with different aspect ratios.
In Meteor, you would use App.setPreference in mobile-config.js:
App.setPreference("SplashMaintainAspectRatio", true, "android");

Is it possible to scale the contents of an <iframe> without resizing the <iframe> itself?

I'm using media queries to scale an <iframe> based on screen resolution: the iframe and its contents get smaller, as the screen gets smaller. Now, this seems alright on paper, but for some reason, as the iframe's size decreases, it clips part of the content. I've tried going to the source file, and using media queries there, in hopes that the <iframe> would also include those; to no effect.
Is there any way to scale, or resize, the contents of an <iframe>, using CSS media queries, without resizing the iframe itself?
There is no possible way to style any of the content within a iFrame, because it is pulling content directly from somewhere else and is not taking anything from your site into account.
If you are just trying to grab a few things from a page maybe you should look into PHP.

Best way to dynamically change the resolution of an HTML5 video

What is the best way to dynamically change the width and height of an HTML5 video within a webpage? The kind of behaviour I'm referring to is the same thing in the intro video of http://flipboard.com/
When the window is resized, the video still takes up 100% of the viewable size (without scrolling). I noticed that the video gets resized to a certain degree, but stops resizing and gets cropped at some point.
What is the best way to get the same behaviour? I want to have a video take up the entire viewable area of the browser without scroll bars. This is only on a desktop/laptop, I am not considering any mobile devices ATM.
What I have in mind right now is to dynamically change the width/height properties of the video to fit the viewable area using javascript, but also set a minimum size such that the video doesn't get distorted. The video can be placed in a container that is always centered, so if the browser gets to a size that is too small, it effectively gets cropped. I'm not sure if this is too long-winded and if there is an easier way.
Thank you.
It looks like they have the css properties of height and width set to 100%. If you use an element inspector like the one built into chrome or firebug for Firefox, you should be able to see exactly how they structured the html/css for the video element as well as the div its nested in. Then, as you said, also set a min-width/min-height property.
Unless I'm misreading your question, it should be that simple. Hope this helps!
you could do it with "Responsive CSS", there are some ways to do that,
you could set the viewport, max-width, min-width, etc.
This link have a nice explanation how to do that : http://kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/responsive-layouts-using-css-media-queries/

iOS5 CSS. position fixed becomes useless with pinch zoom

The CSS property position:fixed has is not functional with iOS5. However when the user pinch zooms on iOS5 or MAC OSX lion the header becomes unusable as it modifies it's sized to adjust and compensate in a manner that tends to move the content in question off screen.
What we need is a means that prevents the fixed element from zooming whilst allowing the other content to zoom. Is this possible?
You would have to create a full-screen wrapper that contains your header, then set meta tags to disable scaling for the page. The content want to zoom like normal would then need to exist inside that wrapper, and have scripts that respond to touch events. Guide to get you started . . .

css resizing - with browser size, zooming in and screen size

I am new to css.
I wanted to know which is the best standard technique to keep the page intact even when the browser size changes, the page is zoomed in or is used for any other screen size. I have tried centering my layout using a container but it gets disturbed when the page zooms in (i know it will, but all what I want is that the elements don't go out of the screen and if possible stay in almost the same position).
So what is the best and easy standard technique in css to achieve the
Thanks for your help.
The newest, cutting-edge method is called responsive web design. It's a bit complicated, but it's looking like the way to develop for multiple screen sizes. It is especially useful for small websites.
Check out some examples here: http://mediaqueri.es/
And some more in-depth information here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
If you set a set size for your body element anytime the browser is re-sized nothing within the page will change.
So the CSS you want to add is as follows:
body {
width: 960px; //being the size screen you want to accommodate your site to
}
