I'm working on creating a custom phone/dialer app.However, I'm having troubles with granting phone role to my app a.k.a. changing the default app for phone calls. Some tech details: We are using MobiControl Version: 15.6.5.1018 Support devices with android 10+. My devices are Zebra and most of them are model TC57x. Devices are in lockdown, showing kiosk dashboard. My app is requesting a phone app role as specified in herehttps://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/role/RoleManager I have blacklisted default phone apps via a Profile, like that: Profile -> Configuration -> App run controlBlacklistPhone - com.android.phoneZebra Phone - com.zebra.phone Then I've used a legacy script to grant all of the permissions to my custom phone app afw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.CALL_PHONE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.example.dev android.permission.READ_CONTACTS allowrestartagent However, when I do a phone call from my second device my custom phone app is not launched. It's even more interesting, as the locked device does not launch any app for the incoming call. How can I set my custom app to be default phone app?
Hi, We operate Zebra TC57 handhelds managed using Mobicontrol. The Zebra handhelds come with a default phone dialer app - org.codeaurora.dialer Our handhelds are really well locked down (using the various Mobicontrol and StageNow features) except when this dialer is invoked for incoming/outgoing phone calls. The app allows the user to get out to things like bluetooth share, mms messaging, file system, web browser, camera, video, slide show etc. While we could try and disable each of undesired functions the dialer gives access to (for example SOTI Surf is stopping the user's unauthorized browser access), it would be really good to instead provide a really basic phone dialer to make and receive calls. I haven't been able to find anything suitable. Has anyone has any success in loading an alternative basic phone/dialer?, or has any other ideas on locking these functions away from the user? Many thanks, Lindsay Background information- Zebra TC57's are operating standard 4G mobile phone connections (not SIP) Zebra OS is Android 10 GMS (GMS Restricted Mode) (10-16-10 LG90) Mobicontrol client 14.5.4.1016 server 14.2.1.4394 Default phone app - Phone org.codeaurora.dialer v23.0 Use Case- Grocery delivery drivers running locked-down Zebra TC57s, primarily running a delivery & mapping application but occasionally needing to make/receive calls.
Hi everyone, we have a problem with the lockdown mode: Outgoing calls are enabled in the features, and I add an icon by 'Launch://com.samsung.android.dialer' like with other apps... The app opens, and I can dial the phone number, but when calling it does nothing... Device: SAMSUNG XCover 4s (Android 10) with Android Enterprise - managed device modeMobiControl v15.1.3.1021 In Android Plus mode (with Android 9 version and the same device) it works OK. Thanks!
Hi, I have a Samsung J400F phone that is locked down. The dialer however does not work. Launch://com.android.contacts/com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity Does not work I have tried 2 others also failed. Launch://com.android.contacts Works to get into the contact. On the logs the activity in use is .DialtactsActivity Please help. Regards,
