AppStart is a reliable way to assign an Android app to run at boot time.

You can configure the “AppStart” setting of your IAdea device by navigating from Basic Settings/Advanced/Content/AppStart.

[On Android 4.4]

The following configuration options are available to you:

  • URL: the default URL to load when the player starts up. If you are using the built-in IAdea player, this is the only configuration option you need to set to start running SMIL or HTML5 content

  • Advanced: click on the "+" (plus sign) to open this section for assigning your custom apps

  • Package name: your Android app package name. Default value is com.iadea.player

  • Class name: your Android app class name. Default is com.iadea.player.SmilActivity

  • Action: the Android action name to launch your app. Default is android.intent.action.VIEW

  • Type: additional intent parameter for your app

To launch your app via AppStart, please at least fill Package name, Class name and Action of your app.

[On Android 7.1]

Set Pronestor Kiosk Browser to launch upon restart

  • If Browser is open – click the circle in the lower bar to return to the Basic Settings

  • Click advance → Content → AppStart

  • Package name: com.bitlayer.kiosk

  • Call name: kioskandroid.kioskactivity

  • Trust: enabled

In newer firmware you only need to enter the package name in AppStart and the first launchable activity in this app will be chosen.

If you would like to check out all installed packages, please use the adb tool to run command “adb shell pm list packages”.

The best practice for Android developers to exit the App:

  • App should override Activity.onBackPressed() if APP doesn’t want exit activity on back pressed

  • App should call Activity.setResult(RESULT_OK) if APP wants to exit activity to the unlock screen without auto-recovery
