Kiosk Mode

Kiosk Mode

Overview

Kiosk mode is a configuration for your temi skill that allows you to take control of the screen saver window and instead of the default screen saver being displayed the temi skill will be displayed. This in a sense configures the skill to be home or launcher skill, which will also be displayed on launch.

Integration

To configure the skill as a kiosk skill you must take the following steps:

1. Open the AndroidManifest.xml
2. In the application tag paste the following piece of code: <meta-data android:name="com.robotemi.sdk.metadata.KIOSK" android:value="TRUE" />
3. Compile and run the skill
4. Even though the skill is visible now it is still not set as your temi's kiosk skill, to do so navigate to the settings menu. Now that you have a kiosk skill running you should see a new option in the settings called Kiosk Mode. Until the skill is set by launcher to be the default skill its' status will be OFF.
5. Click on the kiosk mode option and open the Kiosk Mode page. Turn on the kiosk mode from the top right corner.
6. Select your skill from the list of skills available for kiosk mode configuration. In the case where there is only one of those, it will automatically be selected for you when the mode is turned on.
