Is it possible somehow to type in the admin password for the device with a kiosk mode? Normally, when I'm physically holding the phone, I can close the kiosk mode By long pressing the back-button and then type in the admin password. How do I do that in the remote session...? The device is Samsung Xcover 3

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but what I'll do some times is use the "start" + package name script to remotely launch an app that I want to access while in a Remote Control session rather than going through the process of breaking out of the kiosk mode. Say you want to get to the Settings app, instead of breaking out and manually navigating to it, send "start com.android.settings" as a script and automatically bring it to the foreground.
If by skin you mean a custom lockdown menu, then yes we have that one applied :) Tried to send a script "start com.android.settings" to the device, but nothing happened...
The script notify kiosk off will turn off kiosk, although you will still be in User mode and not Admin mode.
notify kiosk on will bring the kiosk back again.
Likka, maybe James is pertaining to the skin that you can download to skin catalog of SOTI. When doing a remote session, you can view your device with a body/case. So remotely, you can long press the back-button to prompt the password for admin.
If you could identify the admin login prompt as a unique activity then you could possibly launch it remotely with scripting.
I'm not sure if this would even work, but you could try the following:
- Manually launch the Admin login prompt on a sample device that you have in front of you (or have a remote end user trigger with the long press of the back button.
- With that prompt open, use the identify_activity script in order to potentially identify a unique activity name for that prompt.
- If successful, you should find this unique activity name in the device specific log in MobiControl
- In the future, when you need to access this login prompt you should be able to then send a start activity <package>/<activity> script in order to launch the prompt.
Was able to find the activity name using this method. Note, this package name is specific to the Zebra Android devices that I'm using so you will need to identify the Samsung specific activity in order for it to work for you:
Results of identify_activity:
while I have identified the full activity name, I don't seem to be able to call "start activity..." or "start..." through the scripting option. I tried all of these and none of them successfully launched the dialog
