Remove the recent apps button from lockdown mode.

Hey all!

I would like to remove the "Recents" button while in lockdown. 
I have figured out up until now that you can do this by running lockdown in "Native" mode, this way the button does get removed. 

The problem is that I am using an app called "Velocity" in this app there are 2 seperate profiles, and I am using the "intent:" action to open the app with a specific profile 
For example:

ProfileA
ProfileB

#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.wavelink.velocity/.te.SplashActivity;S.openProfile=ProfileA;end;

#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.wavelink.velocity/.te.SplashActivity;S.openProfile=ProfileB;end;

This intent works when in Activity suppression mode, but not when in Native mode.

The end goal is to have the intent working as intended, and have the recents button removed/disabled.

Hello,

Unlike the activity suppression mode, the native mode requires you to declare the applications you want to use. 
Keep your two intents, then add the Verlocity application. This should solve your problem.

If you don't want users to be able to click on the velociy application rather than go through the intent, you can hide its icon from the lockdown template. In the example below, the first two lines declared in HomeScreen will be visible, but not the following ones.

        <div class="row">
            <ul>
                <!-- To display the image for the item rather than use the EXE icon use this line instead
                <li><A href ="<MCLink0>"><img src="<MCDispImg0>" /><div class="txt"><MCDISP0></div></a></li>-->
                <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>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <!-- <div class="row">
            <ul>
                <li><A href ="<MCLink2>"><img src="<MCExeIcon2>" onerror="this.style.display='none'" /><div class="txt"><MCDISP2></div></a></li>
                <li><A href ="<MCLink3>"><img src="<MCExeIcon3>" onerror="this.style.display='none'" /><div class="txt"><MCDISP3></div></a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>

I wasn't aware of the possibility of launching Velocity sessions by Itent, I find your approach interesting !

Hi Nicolas! 

Using your information, I was able to solve the exact issue I was facing. I now have lockdown mode Native enabled, and I am able to use the intent to open a specific profile within the Velocity application. 

Many thanks!

Brecht,
