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 Johan,

I assume that you are referring to the following guides for sendintent command usage and examples:

https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.1/en/scriptcmds/gsrindex.html?gsrid=reference/sendintent.html

https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.1/en/console/gsrindex.html?gsrid=reference/dialogs/profiles/androidplus/profile_lockdown_addmenuitem_androidplus.html

Using an intent to accomplish various tasks maybe specific to an app and the device model in most cases. If you are unable to accomplish anything via valid intent for an app, please feel free to open a case with SOTI technical support and we can investigate the situation further.

When using the "intent:" in a lockdown item,please follow the following format:

intent:#Intent;action=net.soti.mobicontrol.admin.PASSWORD_DIALOG;i.dialog_type=1;end

No prefix is needed to the above statement, just replace the contents after "action" as required and you should be able to execute that intent from lockdown.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
