Automatically Launch Apps after Checkout – Android

Created: Modified: Documentation

Applies to Android devices.

Administrators are able to add Locker Custom Options to their Workflows to automatically launch an app after device checkout.

Locker Custom Options are applied after the device is next checked in, when the device is locked and not actively performing any actions.

Prerequisites

Take note of the following prerequisites:

  • Requires that your organization be enabled for Check Out.
Launch a Single App after Checkout

To automatically launch a single app after checkout and proxy the credentials into the app:

  1. In the MAM admin console, navigate to Admin > Check Out > Locker Custom Options, click Configure.
  2. In the Locker Custom Options field, enter the key/value pairs in JSON format and click Save.
JSON Syntax
{"AutostartApps":["appName"]}
Example
{"AutostartApps":["com.android.chrome"]}
Launch Multiple Apps after Checkout

To automatically launch multiple apps after checkout and proxy credentials into the apps:

  1. In the Locker Custom Options field, enter the key/value pairs in JSON format and click Save.
JSON Syntax
{ 
"AutostartApps":["appName1", "appName2"], 
"AutostartDelayMillis": nnnn, 
"AutostartPeriodMillis": nnnn, 
}

where

  • AutostartApps is an array of the app names to launch.
  • AutostartDelayMillis is the delay, in milliseconds, before Locker starts processing the apps to launch.
  • AutostartPeriodMillis is the delay, in milliseconds, between AutostartApps attempts.
