mini2440 - fullscreen brwoser/java possible?

Hello,
a year ago i bought a "china" mini244 with 64MB/64MB over ebay. My ambition
was to get a user-interface for my mythtv-system running, but after months
of work i am very frustrated.
All i want to have is the UI in real fullscreen, means no taskbar, no
window-title, no close-button. 
I can build my UI with 
a) html & css
b) java
c) perhaps qt (but don't know how to compile for mini)

But no success. I tried to get a browser work in a real fullscreen mode,
nothing, gpe browser shows adress-bar, fennec the same ... and if i go to
install firefox it would be damm slow.

I searched the web for all possible images and i've tested them all, from
ebdebian,angstrom,gpe,opie and so on ... but nothing seems to solve my
problem.

At this point i am very depressed. I think there are packages for webkit
available and i think there must be a way to write a damm small programm
which uses webkit to render a before defined url in fullscreen mode?
Or is there a possible to get Java work?
At last i tought about directfb, but i don't know how to start cause i am a
newbie in this kind of programming.

I've heard about the Android port? would it be possible to write an app for
android that uses fullscreen?

So, please can somebody me please help? I would pay for a mini2440-image
with a webkit-fullscreen brwoser oder the possibility to get an programm
work in fullscreen?


Please help, don't want to throw the mini to dumb

RE ...

perhaps you could help if you see what i want to do with the mini2440 .... 
I want to build a simple touchscreen UI for my mythtv-pc, the whole thing
should look like this:

http://www.christopher-böhm.de/mini2440/320x240/index_tv_watch.html
http://www.christopher-böhm.de/mini2440/320x240/index_tv_records_menu.html
http://www.christopher-böhm.de/mini2440/320x240/index_tv_records_watch.html

all Buttons & Icons are 64x48 pixel PNG's, and all they do is to send a
string over telnet, so that's not such much to do for the app.
I programmed a html-version of the UI for browser use and a java-version
for desktop use.

But I can't get a browser to a real fullscreen in any mini2440-image i
found.
And i see no chance to get java working on it?

So, i need your help:
Is there a change of a getting any browser (fennec,webkit,opie,gpe) working
in a "real" fullscreen mode?
Can somebody give me sample code for directfb doing what you see in the
above url?
Which mini image should i use? gpe,opie,qt,angstrom,emdebian,gentoo?
Or has somebody a nice small image running with only dependencies to get
and X11 app running?
Which other possibilities do i have?
I would pay a little bit for a working solution?

you can write me to boehm@linux-media-systems.de



PS: sry for bad english

it's an interesting work, but I think no pre-built image for it.

Hello Christopher, did you get a answer on this? I also what to display
full screen.

Thanks Lofty

In VB2005 you can place an webbrowser component on an form, then it's
possible to get it full screen, only the scroll bar on the right is still
there, maybe it disappears when the webpage is shorter(not tested);

The browser functions are very limited in CE and not that suitable for me,
I'm building mine domotica application now with VB2005.

Why don't you use Internet explorer, which should be shipped with WinCE !?
I'm pretty sure it can run full screen...

Also, I'm not sure it will be as fast as linux, but maybe :)

The last issue is to develop your interface with Qt :)
I don't know yet Qt, but I'm going to buy a 7" ARM9 to make a touch screen
interface for my home automation. Hope I'll be able to make it run my web
page. If I can't, I'll learn Qt !

Ludovic, I'm working on a similar project. Did you succeed with yours?

I think it´s not possible... mini can´t handle this...

QT4 and a html class window should do what you want. And it is also cross
compile aware, so all you need is a cross toolchain (and QT knowledge).

Hi,

may be too late, but did you check iesimple? (or iesample, i'm not sure)

See you!

You can do with QT 4.6 QtWebKit class. If you are using Linux kernel on
your mini2440 board, you can run your program after kernel start up.

Hello Mustafa, do you have any tips on making this happen?

I really would like to embed qtwebkit in an app.


Thanks

Edje11,

Could you contact me via email? jtigchelaar at gmail dot com
I'm also from the Netherlands and i'm contemplating buying a mini2440.
Perhaps you'd be willing to answer some of my questions regarding
development on this platform.

Kind regards,
Jelle

I know that's a old topic but... why don't use SDL for the fullscreen? With
Buildroot, you can compile a new kernel with SDL (or with Qt, too). In SDL,
you can easily build a fullscreeen app (SDL was designed for games, but is
easy to do some GUI interface).
