Solved Locked

Hello,  I have soma android Tablets I'd like to display the dive ID and a custom attribute.

I have some devices I do this using the kiosk mode  with a lockdown screen with the allowed apps on the lockdown screen.

I do not want to lockdown these devices, I'd just like to have the Device id and one field displayed somehow on the home screen of the device.

Any suggestion on how to do this would be appreciated!

Hello Tom,

Thank you for the question.

We cannot display the Device ID or any other attribute on the devices' home screen as we cannot modify the device UI. Currently, it is beyond the functionality of MobiControl.

You'd need to write your own custom launcher or modify the source code of one that is open source.  You'd then have to get access to the custom attribute info from the MobiControl agent.  Not sure how feasible that is as there isn't a published intent to get that from the agent.

Short answer: Not easily done.

(unless of course I'm missing some other method entirely...)
