Remarks

Battery Polling on Enterprise Tablet

Due to its asynchronous battery notification, the Enterprise Tablet does not support BatteryRefresh. This has the effect of launching a bateryEvent only when the battery level changes. This functionality has been implemented in place of polling as a means of maximizing battery power.

Case Sensitivity

Note: The file systems of some operating systems are case-sensitive. For cross-platform compatibility, letter case for URL, file and path references in the Config.xml file should be identical to those of the sources.

DataWedge-Enterprise Browser Conflicts

Under certain conditions involving Enterprise Browser, scanning with the DataWedge application on Zebra Android devices is disabled. For complete details, see the DataWedge Usage Guide. This issue applies to Android only.

FunctionKeysCapturable-EnableFunctionKey Interaction

Applies to Windows Mobile/CE devices only.

On Windows Mobile/CE, full control is given to the developer over how the application handles function keys, but such settings persist only until the next warm boot. Also, the default behavior of function keys will vary from one device to another. On the MC75a, for example, the red and green phone keys also represent F3 and F4 keys, and on many devices the volume keys also can be mapped as function keys.

Not all function keys will revert to default operating system behavior, however, and unblocking certain function keys might expose the underlying operating system. For example, exposing the red and green phone keys on some devices will grant access to the WM/CE Start menu.

The table below shows the behavior of Enterprise Browser when function keys are pressed given certain configuration settings:

Function Keys Capturable = TRUE Function Keys Capturable = FALSE
Enable Function Key = TRUE
  • All Function Keys can be captured by the Key Capture Module
  • Function Key will not have its default Operating system behavior
  • Function Keys with default OS behavior can not be captured by the Key Capture Module
  • Function Keys without default OS behavior can be captured by the Key Capture Module
  • Function Key will have its default Operating system behavior (if any)
Enable Function Key = FALSE
  • All Function Keys can be captured by the Key Capture Module
  • Function Key will not have its default Operating system behavior
  • All Function Keys can not be captured by the Key Capture Module
  • Function Key will not have its default Operating system behavior (if any)

This table applies to Windows Mobile and Windows CE devices only.

IntentReceiver

The IntentReciever tag includes parameters to enable/disable the Intent function and to define the Action and Category of the Intent itself. The syntax for these parameters is as follows: 


<IntentReceiver>
    <EnableReceiver value="1"/>
    <IntentAction   value="com.zebra.sample.action"/>
    <IntentCategory value="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</IntentReceiver>

From the target side, here's what the relevant JavaScript code for sending an intent might look like: 

    
    Intent intent = new Intent("com.zebra.sample.action");
    intent.putExtra("key", "intent");
    sendBroadcast(intent);

Learn more about Intent at the Android Developer Forum.

Open and Print Key Commands

For apps that enable the Open (Ctrl+O) or Print (Ctrl+P) key combinations, such functions are inoperable on Windows CE7 devices.
