Kiosk/Lockdown mode #183

Closed ReedDahle closed 6 months ago

ReedDahle commented 6 months ago

Hello, I have a very specific but straightforward feature request. My company is using Fully Kiosk to lock down and manage tablets for our employees. We need a vnc solution for remote training/debugging, and we were previously using "start on boot" with a defaults.json file and preventing the user from opening the app. The server does not start reliably (most likely an issue with Fully), and the tablet takes a noticeable performance hit while running. I'd like to add a boolean in defaults.json that, when enabled, will hide all the ui elements except the start/stop button and the label showing the tablet's ip, so the end user cannot see any passwords or make changes to the configuration, just start/stop the server.

I may be able to make this change myself, if this is a pull request you'd accept. However, I'm not very familiar with android studio and app development with java/kotlin in general (we use MAUI/Xamarin), but I did manage to clone the repo, manually hide all the unwanted elements and publish a signed apk.

Please let me know if you would implement this, if I should submit a pull request, or if I should just keep my own fork.

Thanks, Reed

Hi @ReedDahle I guess you'd be better off implementing a small launcher app that uses the Intent interface .
