I'm currently evaluating Soti Mobicontrol (v13) for the remote control of a set of android devices that must work as kiosks. Those devices must always have a particular app running, are single app devices, and in cases where the app crash or exits the app must be restarted or taken in foreground.

Using scripts (http://www.soti.net/mc/help/v13/en/Content/ScriptCmdSet.htm) is possible to check:

1 - which app is currently in foreground (with script identify_activity)

2 - start an app (Start com.foo.app.ExampleApp)

What it seems is not possible is to combine those scripts and let them be executed periodically to check the current device situation and correct it if necessary.

Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks

  • Do you need to have the ability to check which app is foreground or are you looking for a solution to always have your app in the foreground and prevent the user from doing anything else with the device? – Trevor Halvorson May 11 '17 at 00:43
  • @TrevorHalvorson the main point I want to achieve is the latter you said, but since with Soti it's not possibile (till the version 13) to have a single app lockdown (with app always in execution) I was lloking at ways to actively check the foreground app in order to take measures. – frankieta May 11 '17 at 10:25
  • have you looked at Lock Task Mode? check out my answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/43644803/2888763 – Trevor Halvorson May 11 '17 at 16:51
  • You could schedule a period file sync rule to execute some script. That should do the trick – AntonioBust Jul 21 '17 at 12:20
