Introduction
The Dynamic Configurable start screen feature allows the UBIK Service engineer to tailor the buttons on the start screen according to the needs of the customer.
Setup
- The first step is to configure the start screen data using an xml in order for UBIK® to recognize the different tabs and buttons. The xml file should be placed in a subfolder under the "UBIK" folder on the device's SD card.
- After the folder is configured, the next step is to validate the schema against an online validator. A solution can be found at Online XML Schema Validator. The schema used to validate against will be found inside the UBIK Folder and is named ConfigurableStartScreenSchema.
The following xml shows an example configuration:
<StartScreenConfiguration>
<Tab caption="Content">
<ContentBrowserButton caption="Content Browser"/>
<ContentBrowserButton caption="My Tasks" UBIK-UID="5baf5be8-ed79-11e3-83b1-82687f4fc15c" iconPath="tasks.png"/>
</Tab>
<Tab caption="AR">
<MapsButton/>
<PoiViewButton caption="AR View"/>
<CustomIntentButton caption="Map of Linz">
<IntentURI>
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Linz/@48.295065,14.327405,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x47739595fa99854d:0x7c53292c577975c4
</IntentURI>
</CustomIntentButton>
</Tab>
</StartScreenConfiguration>
<Tab caption="Content">
<ContentBrowserButton caption="Content Browser"/>
<ContentBrowserButton caption="My Tasks" UBIK-UID="5baf5be8-ed79-11e3-83b1-82687f4fc15c" iconPath="tasks.png"/>
</Tab>
<Tab caption="AR">
<MapsButton/>
<PoiViewButton caption="AR View"/>
<CustomIntentButton caption="Map of Linz">
<IntentURI>
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Linz/@48.295065,14.327405,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x47739595fa99854d:0x7c53292c577975c4
</IntentURI>
</CustomIntentButton>
</Tab>
</StartScreenConfiguration>
Tab Groups
The user can configure up to 6 tabs groups in the XML. As parameters, the caption is needed.
Buttons
Buttons should be placed inside tab elements and can be parameterized. Buttons are configurable in terms of
- Icon
- Caption
- Group/tab
- Action + Parameters if needed
Results
The result is that the tabs and buttons configured in the XML file will be visible and open the right activity once they are clicked.
