如何使用非启动器应用程序启用信息亭模式？

Question

In my custom DPC app (which is configured as device owner), I would like to set a third-party app in kiosk mode.

I did some tests with DevicePolicyManager.addPersistentPreferredActivity() but it seems to only work if the target app is a launcher, ie if the provided component is an activity that supports the HOME and DEFAULT intent categories. But I need it to work with any app.

Google DPC Android Device Policy can make it, as explained in "Apps that don't support lock task mode" by providing only the package name (not the full activity component name) in the persistentPreferredActivities section of the policy. Therefore I assume that it is possible to do it in my DPC, but how ?

Answer 1

As already mentioned, there is no official way to lock an app into kiosk mode with a policy when lock mode is not supported.

the addPersistentPreferredActivity() method only sets the default handler for these intents but they can also be overridden.

Answer 2

我找到的解决方案是将 DPC 设置为默认启动器，并从 DPC 自动启动第三方应用程序。
