Hello, I would like to add an entry in the lokdown menu to open an Android broadcast intent. I've tried with the sendintent command which works correctly, but it's not working with an entry in lockdown menu. Command launched with sendintent (OK) : sendintent -b "intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.SOS_BUTTON;end;" Launch in lockdown menu (not OK): intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.SOS_BUTTON;end I presume that in second case it's a activity intent launched by default, but I have no idea how to launch a broadcast.Thank you for your help
The usecase: A customer of ours uses truckscales/weighbridges. The weight is being shown on a specific URL, one for each scale/bridge. Truck drivers are using Zebra TC57 devices under our control, using a lockdown and SOTI Surf installed. This customer does not want their truck drivers to freely use a browser. They also don't want 135 different accessible URL's on some kind of landing page, truck drivers could choose the wrong truckscale and report the wrong weight. Ideally they want their truck driver to scan a NFC tag on a truckscale which leads them to that one specific page, in SOTI Surf (not Chrome). This should be possible by using an intent and encoding that into the NFC tags, right? Basically telling the Zebra TC57 to open SOTI Surf and to surf towards a specific url. Browsing through these forums, I found two possibilities but neither seems to work: intent:https://mobicoach.eu#Intent;action=Intent.ACTION_VIEW;component=net.soti.surf/net.soti.surf.ui.activities.SplashActintent:https://mobicoach.eu#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=net.soti.surf;end Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi, Can you tell me what intent is sent to the application when the box "Automatically Run Activity after Install" is checked when building a profile using MCStudio?
Hi! Is there some way of issuing an adb shell intent command to a device running MobiControl to issue a script on the device? Does MobiControl have an intent receiver? The reason for this is that we have devices with a crashing agent as soon as we exit the lockdown manually, the devices are offline and can't be put online again so we want to be able to send script notify kiosk off to the devices.
Hi all, Zebra TC75 android I'm trying to import contacts into the devices automatically. I can copy a vcf file to sd as package, if I open the file manually in the file explorer it'll ask if I want to import the contacts. But if I open the file through a script it tries to load them through PDF viewer. If I open the "Contacts" app and click import/export -> import from SD card. everything works as expected. What I want is to have a pre/post install script which will update the contacts on the device automatically. But currently the closet to getting what I want is to open contacts, and send a message to the user to import the contacts file. <code>start activity com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.activites.PeopleActivity showmessagebox "Please use the menu in the top right hand corner, press import/export, and click \"Import from Storage\""</code> This there an intent I can send which will open the import command with no user intervention? I've looked through the source code and can see the action "com/android.contacts.vcard.ImportRequest" but nothing happens when I try sending it as an intent, am I missing an instruction, as you can import from sdcard or simcard? <code>sendintent -a "intent://com.andriod.contacts#Intent;action=com.android.contacts.vard.ImportRequest;end"</code> Thanks for any ideas Gary
Hi Every now and then we are getting to a point where we have to use the sendintent command and every time we struggle to get this right since it is written in a certain way as a script command. There is the guide for sendintent command but it would be nice to get some more examples and more detailed guide/manual for this very useful command on the android platform. Maybe also the difference when using Intent:// from a lockdown. Thanks in advance
Hi all, looking to launch a chrome custom tab or incognito tab for an webmail link, currently we use intent://[URL HERE]#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=com.android.chrome;end but everytime this is pressed from the lockdown it causes a new tab to open which leads to lots of tabs and data being saved ie passwords and cookies etc. any help would be appreciated thanks
