Managed Home Screen settings for Multi-Mode Kiosk Android Enterprise
Hi All,
With our older Android devices upgrading to Android 9.0 and new devices being delivered with the same. i have noticed that the power button no longer offers Power Off/on and Restart options.
I cannot tell if it is just the notification pop-up that is blocked or the functionality is blocked at source.
The only way, so far, to power off or restart the device; is to exit Kiosk Mode first. Has anyone found a way around this; preferably from the Intune console.
Cheers
MoZZa It looks like this might be the issue: https://developer.android.com/work/dpc/dedicated-devices/lock-task-mode#customize-ui
If Intune is setting the features using setLockTaskFeatures they'll need to make sure they include GLOBAL_ACTIONS
From the GLOBAL_ACTIONS feature: "Enable the global actions dialog during LockTask mode. This is the dialog that shows up when the user long-presses the power button, for example. Note that the user may not be able to power off the device if this flag is not set.
This flag is enabled by default until https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/DevicePolicyManager.html#setLockTaskFeatures(android.content.ComponentName,%20int)is called for the first time."
Hi snarkshark
That definitely looks like the issue. I pointed that out to MS but the call is now nearly 4 weeks old. They have updated the Managed Home Screen app, but it is still has a non-configured
LOCK_TASK_FEATURE_GLOBAL_ACTIONS. If they actually set that in the app to true, I think the power button UI should be able to appear on top of the Managed Home Screen.
Thansk for the pointers SnarkShark.
