EMDK For Android - 13.0

Overview

The UI Manager (UiMgr) provides control of miscellaneous UI configuration settings, such as those for language and locale, the device notification pull-down, Quick Settings controls, default input device and Clipboard behavior.

Android devices contain a variety of System applications that access UI elements spread throughout the OS. In some cases, one or more of these "standard" UI elements were deemed undesirable by Zebra customers and/or partners for devices deployed in an enterprise. The UiMgr provides control over these UI elements and the option of disabling Android behaviors or features with the potential to hinder the productivity of device users engaged in specific business tasks.

Security Warning: The UiMgr permits the "Network may be monitored..." message to be suppressed. This important safeguard is intended to warn device users of a potential security risk. Administrators should not suppress this message unless CA certificates have been properly vetted before installation on a device, and should ensure that no untrusted certificates can be subsequently installed while the message remains suppressed.

External KB Action

Used to select an Action to perform on the named external keyboard specified in the External Keyboard Name parameter.

MX 13.2 Feature Enhancement

On devices with MX 13.2 or later, wildcard characters can be used to identify keyboards for application of an Action. For example, if all keyboards in an organization contain the word "BrandX" but otherwise differ by model, applying an Action to the name "brandx*" applies to all keyboards with names containing that string. In addition, if the selected language is "Automatic" while adding the Keyboard Layout Mapping, the device locale is automatically set whenever the keyboard is connected.

Note: If the named keyboard is not connected when configuration settings are deployed, settings are applied the next time the keyboard is plugged in. If multiple StageNow Profiles containing different layout names are created, the layout in the last applied Profile becomes the default.

AutoCorrect Usage Enable/Disable

Controls whether AutoCorrect functionality is accessible on the device. AutoCorrect can be used to save commonly entered words or industry-specific words or phrases and offer them as corrections to potentially mistyped words. Such functionality could present a security risk by exposing sensitive information to subsequent device users that are not authorized to view or reuse that information.

Note: This parameter does not turn the AutoCorrect function on or off or configure any of its functions. When AutoCorrect is enabled, an administrator or device user must still use the System Settings panel turn the function on or off and configure its functions. When disabled, AutoCorrect functionality cannot be used on the device.

HOME Key Enable/Disable

Used to prevent use of the HOME key to exit the current app and run the Home Screen app. This might be desirable when the device is devoted to running a single application, such as that of a kiosk. By blocking use of the HOME key, a common method of navigating away from the application (whether intentional or not) can be eliminated.

Note: Enabling this parameter does not affect the "long press" behavior of the HOME key. To completely prevent all HOME key functionality, use the Key Mapping Manager (on supported devices) to disable the HOME key or map it to a desired behavior.

Network 'Monitored' Message Enable/Disable

Controls whether the message "Network may be monitored..." is displayed on the device when the device user connects to certain types of networks. This message is generally associated with networks that implement a public key infrastructure and require a root certificate on the device before a client will be allowed to connect.

Security Warning: The "Network may be monitored..." message is a safeguard intended to warn device users of a potential security risk. Administrators should not suppress this message unless CA certificates have been properly vetted before installation on a device, and should ensure that no untrusted certificates can be subsequently installed while the message remains suppressed.

Note: On TC20/TC25 devices, available only when running Android 8.x Oreo and higher.

2 Disable Disables multi-user mode on the device.

OSX: 8.5+

MX: 8.1+

Set Current Locale

Permits the selection of the device's Locale. A locale is the combination of a language and a region in which that language is spoken. Languages are identified by two lower-case letters; regions are identified by two upper-case letters. The locale joins the two letter-pairs with an underscore ("_") character. For example, "en_US" is the locale specification for "English spoken in the United States," and "fr_CA" is the locale specification for "French spoken in Canada."

When changing the Locale, it also might be desirable to change the default input method to one that is suitable for entry of characters for the language associated with the selected Locale. Setting a particular input method as the default input method does not prevent the device user from manually selecting a different input method, it merely determines which input method will come up automatically each time that parameter is invoked.

Parm value input rules:

  • String containing two lower-case letters corresponding to the language
  • Optionally may contain two upper-case letters designating a region code
  • When a region code is used, letter pairs are joined by an underscore ("_") character. For example: en_US
  • The minimum length is 2 characters; the maximum length is 5 characters

Set a Custom Locale

Permits the selection of the device's Custom Locale. A locale is the combination of a language and a region in which that language is spoken. Languages are identified by two lower-case letters; regions are identified by two upper-case letters. The locale joins the two letter-pairs with an underscore ("_") character. For example, "en_US" is the locale specification for "English spoken in the United States," and "fr_CA" is the locale specification for "French spoken in Canada."

When changing the Locale, it also might be desirable to change the Default input method to one that is suitable for entry of characters associated with the language of the selected Locale. Setting a particular input method as the default input method does not prevent the device user from manually selecting a different input method, it merely determines which input method will come up automatically each time that parm is invoked.

Parm value input rules:

  • String containing two lower-case letters corresponding to the language
  • Optionally may contain two upper-case letters designating a region code
  • When a region code is used, letter pairs are joined by an underscore ("_") character. For example: en_US
  • The minimum length is 2 characters; the maximum length is 5 characters

Shown if: Current Locale value is "Custom" (99)

Parm Name: CustomLocale

For example, "en_US" is the locale specification for "English spoken in the United States," and "fr_CA" is the locale specification for "French spoken in Canada."

When changing the Locale, it also might be desirable to change the default input method to one that is suitable for entry of characters for the language associated with the selected Locale.

Used to control actions for managing Workflow(s), which automatically launch the app(s) designated for work activities. When more than one app is selected for a Workflow, the apps display simultaneously in split-screen mode and are subject to the behaviors described below.

Split-screen Behaviors:

  • After being configured, Workflows are executed following each reboot of the device until removed; even after disabling Split Screen mode.
  • If performing an Enterprise Reset on a device configured to execute and persist Split Screen mode, the apps still launch automatically on reboot, but run independently, not in Split Screen mode.
  • Single-app Workflows launch the named app in full-screen mode; enabling split-screen mode is not required.
  • Split-screen scenarios created manually by the device user execute with a screen ratio of 50:50 by default.
  • The screen ratio can be changed manually on all split-screen scenarios by dragging the divider.
  • Split-screen mode is exited on the device if:
    • Any Workflow app crashes.
    • A Workflow app is upgraded via adb.
  • Workflows do not launch, might launch improperly or cause staging failure if:
    • The split-screen feature is disabled on the device.
    • One or more of the named apps are not present on target device(s).
    • One or more of the named apps does not support split-screen mode.
    • One or more of the named apps displayed a pop-up message when initially installed.
    • A Workflow is configured and deployed after split-screen is disabled on the target device(s).
  • The StageNow client app does NOT support split-screen mode.

To Exit Split-screen:

  • Drag divider toward the top-left or bottom-right of the screen
  • Press HOME button and pull divider in any direction
  • Press BACK button when first app is in focus
  • Press BACK button when second app is in focus, then pull divider
