    Open defined URL after clicking OK Button in Messagebox

    I use Android Enterprise Devices (Zebra TC57 + TC27) on MobiControl 15.1. I want to open a defined URL with chrome after clicking the OK button. This script just opens chrome, because i cant find a way to define a URL... var buttonLabels = ['OK'];mobicontrol.message.createInfoDialog('Text for Messagebox').withButtons(buttonLabels[0]).withCallback(onConfirm).show(); function onConfirm(result) {if (result.buttonIndex != null) {mobicontrol.log.info('The OK button was clicked');mobicontrol.app.start('com.android.chrome');}} This old sendintent script works fine but there's no way to put this in a showmessagebox. sendintent -a "https://google.com#Intent;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end"

    Remove Chrome URL bar Solved

    I found this topic: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/chrome-lockdown-disable-url-bar/ and it seems to work for them.The script perhaps needs some edit or something, or i'm doing something wrong...not sure.Either way it did not work too well for me, then again Javascript is not a language I know too well.I generally stick to HTML / CSS.The way I have it right now is: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> </style> <script> function openUrl() { var options = "location=no, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes"; var theUrl = "<MCLink0>"; // TEST URL alert(theUrl); window.open(theUrl, "", options); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="Main"> <div class="row"> <ul> <td onclick="openUrl();"> <li><A href ="<MCLink0>"><img src="<MCExeIcon0>" onerror="this.style.display='none'" /><div class="txt"><MCDISP0></div></a></li> <li><A href ="<MCLink1>"><img src="<MCExeIcon1>" onerror="this.style.display='none'" /><div class="txt"><MCDISP1></div></a></li> </td> </ul> </div> </body> </html> Ofcourse I have more CSS and etc in between, but this is just the layout I have put it in.Since the topic I mentioned is locked, does anyone else have experience with this?

    Web Clip for Android Solved

    I'd like to be able to add a Chrome browser bookmark to the home screen of our Zebra devices. Soti Surf isn't an option as Chrome is required for the bookmarked website. We have it set as a bookmark but the users would like it added to their home screen. I have reviewed a few other articles about this issue but haven't found a solution other than switching to Soti Surf which isn't an option. https://discussions.soti.net/thread/chrome-url-shortcut-on-home-screen/ https://discussions.soti.net/thread/website-urls-on-home-screen/

    Set Chrome Flag

    Hi all, hopefully someone of you already did it and can help: We want to set a Chrome Flag (https://web.dev/nfc/#use)(--enable-experimental-web-platform-features or chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features) How to set it via Mobicontrol? I don't see any possiblity to set it in the application settings in application catalogue rule but maybe i have overseen that. When i set it on Windows/Android i get this as a part of the chrome://local-state/: {"browser":{"enabled_labs_experiments":["enable-experimental-web-platform-features"]}}Is this what i have to enter into Configuration URI?It's hard to Test because Chrome is already part of a application catalogue rule, wo i don't know if this will make problem setting this in a second rule for same device.

    Chrome Configuration in App Cat Rule works until Web Filter is applied Solved Locked

    I am adding an Application Catalog Rule for Google Chrome and in the Advanced tab I am configuring the Home Page and a managed book mark. It works without issue.  I also have a Profile Configuration Payload for Webfilter - The web filter blocks * (all sites) and allows the end user URL only. Depending on which element gets assigned last is what works. It appears the two cancle each other out.  For example if Chrome is updated by Google Play the settings work but then as soon as the web filter is applied the home page and managed bookmark are gone but the web filter works.  If the web filter is applied first, it works great and all sites are blocked but as soon as google play applies the chrome with config the web filter stops working and you can brows anywhere.

    Web filter - Cannot use ruletype "Block" with URL " * " anymore Solved

    First post here. Thought to pick your mind on this one. Before upgrading from SOTI MobiControl 14.3 to 15.1 I had profiles assigned with web filters covering the allowed URL's that were assigned to my devices. The profiles are applied to all devices and working fine. I had a couple of "Allow" rule types and one "Block" with the "*" as the URL. This worked perfectly fine. Users could only browse to the Allowed URL's and all other sites were blocked due to the usage of "*" I now tried to make changes to one of the filters and it gives me an error. Doesn't allow me to save it anymore. This forces me to remove the "*" as a Block rule type and this will give access to all sites when users try to browse using e.g. Chrome. I guess this is due to some changes in 15.1 or any versions after 14.3... Any tip on what I can do here is appreciated.
