Hello Everyone. Im Hoping that i will be able to get an answer here.
I finished creating my wix website and now that its live i thought about wrapping it in an app so it will be available in Google Play.
At first i tried to find a wix app to do this, but after the only app that supported what i wanted is currently off wix stores i have began a tiresome quest for what in my mind was a very simple idea.
So basically all i want is something similar to what every “light” app does and is to open my website in mobile webview with responsive width and height.
After lots and lots of googling i just couldnt make the website show in full width. And the result i got was my website with grey bars in the corners. even when i flip my phone the width of the website stays the same, as if something is limiting the width from expending.
from my understanding they limit the website width which can explain why the width is not resizing at all.
Since i cant access the webview meta tag on wix website i am trying to find another solution.
Can anyone think of something?
btw, gonative.io give the same service of wrapping web to app with FULL width support. so there is some kind of magic that can be done here without changing a single line of code on wix website.
Any help on the matter would be super helpful as its really disappointing that wix website is responsive on mobile browsers but is not responsive if you try to wrap it as an app for mobile.
This screenshot is a website that opens in full width webview via iframe
Hi Nathan and thank you for posting in Wix Code support forums.
Please note that embedding a Wix site is not related to Wix Code api.
More information regarding embedding Wix site can be found here .
For any further information regarding this matter feel free to contact Wix support
Hi, thank you for the quick reply.
Im not embedding my Wix website in another website.
All i want is to open my website in mobile webview. Just as i would open in in Chrome App on my phone.
Similar to all of those “Ultra Fast Facebook” apps on google play that just open the mobile version of the website.
What im experiencing is a limit in the width view due to wix viewport configuration.
Since i cant currently edit my Wix website CSS i am looking for a workaround to this problem.
Currently, the only option is using the Wix mobile app . Moreover, there’s no option to edit the CSS of your site. For further suggestions or questions regarding this app, please contact Wix support team .
Hi Tal, I think there is a misunderstanding to what i am looking to do.
The Wix Mobile App gives me the ability to manage my store but its not what im looking for.
And i know there is currently no option to edit the CSS hence this post.
I want to make an Android Web to App. All i want to know is how to configure my CSS webview so my wix Website will have responsive Width, as it currently only has responsive height. (As Shown by the screenshots from the original post)
For Example:
in my html i have iframe which opens a url=“mywebsite.com”
in my CSS i have a Configured a Class
{ display: flex;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
flex-direction: column;
background-color: #98ABB1;
overflow: hidden;
}
Hi,
Since there’s no option to access the CSS files of your site, there’s no option to configure your CSS web view. The only option is by editing your mobile view using the mobile editor .
I have tried to contact wix support to add my service to the wix stores as i think its simple and can be useful to many users.
But unfortunately got no reply.
No change of code is needed on wix. Everything is configured via android studio incl support to wix mobile buttons (phone, email, etc)
So basically to make an app to any website all i need is the url and the icon for the app.
Hi Nathan,
I’ve read this thread and I apologise for our team not fully understanding your request earlier.
Happy to see you’ve found a workaround, and that you’ve posted explanations and a link to your fiverr, for helping other users.
Good luck and thanks!
Hi Nathan!
I saw your problem you have published here.
I want to take details. I have the same problem and I hope to get your help.
If you are speaking Hebrew, I will be glad
Hi Or, would love to help.

i didnt use scratch. i have made it from scratch
and unfortunately i dont have the time nor the knowledge to teach Android Studio. for that youtube can be your guide as it was mine.
as for keywords what you are looking for is “webview”.
but if all you want is the same thing i needed - simple view of the responsive wix website on mobile, just save yourself some time and hassle and generate an app via appenguin.com.
Yes. I have used “webview” in Android Studio. I am just asking you for the Scratch…
And yes. I want the same thing you needed… I will use your site. Thank you a lot!
היי אור, כנראה יש פער בהבנה אז אני אכתוב בעברית.
אין דבר כזה Scratch באנדרואיד סטודיו. הכוונה שהאפליקציה נבנתה מאפס.
כנס לאתר שכתבתי לך, תמלא את הפרטים, תקבל אפליקציה מוכנה ישירות למייל.
אם תרצה לערוך אותה או להתאים אותה לצרכים מיוחדים מעבר למה שמוצע (שינוי אייקון, העלאה לגוגל מרקט וכו) צור קשר עם המתכנת שבנה את האתר והוא ישמח לשלוח לך הצעת מחיר בהתאם למה שאתה בדיוק צריך לעשות.
