On modern Android 7 (and higher) Samsung devices, the application "com.samsung.android.contacts" is responsible for both calling (as a dialer) and contact management. It's got two different shortcuts, which are both present on the default desktop. I'm trying to display both shortcuts on a SOTI lockdown, but I'm having trouble displaying the dialer part. Do you know what I can put into the lockdown settings to have them both displayed properly? At first I tried the following:
Phone > Launch://com.android.phone
Contacts > Launch://com.samsung.android.contacts
This displays the shortcuts correctly but when the user presses Phone, they get the error message "Package [com.android.phone] does not contain default activity)". This makes sense because the default activity for calling should be 'com.samsung.android.contacts', which is the only application available for that purpose. Yet when I use:
Phone > Launch://com.samsung.android.contacts
Contacts > Launch://com.samsung.android.contacts
This results in the lockdown displaying both the icon and the functionality of the Samsung contacts, yet no dialer. Our customer is asking for the dialer and wants it directly available for their truck drivers. Another option that didn't work was:
Launch://com.samsung.android.contacts/.DialtactsActivity
I've tried various intents as well but to no avail. For example:
intent:#Intent;action=com.samsung.android.contacts.ACTION_DIAL;end
intent:#Intent;action=("com.samsung.android.contacts","com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity");end
Do you have an idea how I can still reach the dialer part of com.samsung.android.contacts and display it on the SOTI lockdown? We're using the cloud-based version of MobiControl 14.1.0.1152. Thanks in advance.
