A way to hide from UI completely?

[dfischer]

When launching this in Cordova it takes up a lot of room and there doesn't seem to be a way to remove this from the UI completely (hide it).

Any idea?

From a mobile app being tested on the phone itself (or a simulator), yes, you're right that there's no way to remove it completely from the UI if the constellation:position package is present (and it is present when using the babrahams:constellation distro). The reason for this is that there would be no way to open and close the UI otherwise (the constellation:position package gives the the little dot to open it and lets you close it down to the little dot again by clicking the Position tab).

If you're using the mobile view in Chrome, you can use the Config tab to remove the Position tab and use Ctrl + C to toggle the UI.

Yeah. I'd say it would probably make sense to add a option in config to temporarily hide the whole UK until you refresh to get around this.

Are we talking about emulation/devices or just the mobile view on Chrome? Because on Chrome, you can use the config tab to hide the position tab and just use Crtl + C to completely hide the UI. In emulators/devices, Ctrl + C isn't going to work, so we need some sort of visual presence to click.

How do you refresh in a device/emulator -- is there an easy way of doing that? If so, that might be worth doing. It would be easy enough.

[dfischer]

Probably relaunching the app is enough to cause the refresh. Yeah I'm speaking about emulator, not so much chrome.
