Masking the URL bar on an iphone web application

With the firmware 2.1, it’s possible to mask the URL bar with a meta tag. Previous this meta tag instruction, the masking was done with javascript code.

 

Adding <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /> instruction in the HTML code will result in masking the URL bar.

Take attention that this instruction is only valid when your webapp is added as the home screen.

Using the apt ant task

I'm using Jdeveloper and there is not support for the apt task in this IDE. Ant 1.7.0 has a built in support task for Apt.
To use it, add the apt tag in your build file as followed.
<target name="compile" depends="init"> <apt srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"<br /> classpath="${deploy}/annotations-tutorial.jar" debug="true"<br /> compile="true"<br /> factory="com.techno.annotations.chp5.SimpleAnnotationProcessorFactory"></apt> </target>
