FreeKiosk v1.2.6 - Inactivity Management & Screen Scheduler

on GitHub

Added

• 🏠 Inactivity Return to Home: Automatically navigate back to start page after inactivity

  • Configurable timeout (5–3600 seconds)
  • Timer resets on every touch/scroll/click interaction in the WebView
  • Option to reset timer when a new page loads within the WebView
  • Option to clear cache on return (full reload)
  • Smart detection: won't reload if already on the start page
  • Automatically paused during Screensaver, URL Rotation, and URL Planner
  • New settings section in General tab: "Inactivity Return"

• 🌙 Screen Sleep Scheduler: Automatically turn off screen during scheduled time periods

  • Create multiple schedule rules with custom names
  • Set specific days of the week for each rule
  • Define sleep and wake times (supports midnight-crossing schedules)
  • Option to wake screen on touch during scheduled sleep
  • Native AlarmManager integration for reliable wake-up (survives Doze mode)
  • Smart handling for Device Owner and non-Device Owner modes
  • PIN bypass support for automatic wake-up
  • Visual feedback with midnight-crossing badge for overnight schedules
  • New settings section in Display tab: "Screen Sleep Schedule"

Fixed

• 🔄 Update Installation on Samsung Devices: Resolved installation hanging issue

  • Added silent installation support for Device Owner mode using PackageInstaller API
  • Improved feedback message explaining installation may require user action
  • Added UpdateInstallReceiver to monitor installation status
  • Better fallback to manual installation when silent install is not available
  • Automatic app restart after successful installation (both Device Owner and normal modes)
  • Fixes issue where "Installation in progress..." popup never closed on Samsung Galaxy devices

• 🚀 ADB Configuration Kiosk Mode: Fixed kiosk mode not activating on first launch with auto_start=true

  • External app now launches after kiosk mode is properly activated
  • Ensures lock task whitelist includes both FreeKiosk and external app before launch
  • Proper restart sequence: save config → restart FreeKiosk → activate kiosk → launch app

• 📡 EXTERNAL_APP_LAUNCHED Broadcast: Improved broadcast reliability for ADB monitoring

  • Fixed broadcast invisible in release builds (now uses android.util.Log)
  • Now verifies app is in foreground before broadcasting (up to 10 retries over 5 seconds)
  • Adds verified boolean to broadcast extras to indicate foreground verification status
  • Logcat tag: FreeKiosk-ADB — filter with adb logcat -s "FreeKiosk-ADB"
  • Consistent behavior whether launched via ADB auto_start or normal app flow

• 🗄️ AsyncStorage v2 Compatibility: Fixed ADB configuration not persisting after restart

  • AsyncStorage v2 uses Room database instead of legacy storage
  • ADB config now writes to SharedPreferences as "pending config" bridge
  • KioskScreen reads and applies pending config to AsyncStorage on startup
  • All native-side reads migrated to new database format

• 🔑 PIN via ADB Config: PIN is now correctly saved to Android Keystore (PBKDF2 hashed)

  • Previously PIN was only written to AsyncStorage where the secure PIN system couldn't find it
  • KioskScreen now routes @kiosk_pin from pending config to saveSecurePin()
  • PIN appears correctly in Settings after ADB provisioning

• 🎯 ADB test_mode Parameter: New --es test_mode "false" for production deployment

  • Controls physical back button behavior (blocked when false)
  • Automatically sets back_button_mode to immediate (auto-relaunch) or test (stay on FreeKiosk)
  • Test mode synced to native SharedPrefs on every app start

• 🔄 ADB back_button_mode Parameter: New --es back_button_mode "immediate" for fine control

  • Supports test (no auto-relaunch), timer (countdown then relaunch), immediate (instant relaunch)
  • Can be set independently or automatically via test_mode

• 🔧 ADB auto_start Boolean Fix: --ez auto_start true now works correctly

  • Previously only --es auto_launch "true" (string) was handled
  • Now supports both --ez auto_start true (boolean) and --es auto_launch "true" (string)

• ⚡ Low-End Device Performance: Reduced resource usage to prevent crashes/unresponsiveness

  • Foreground monitoring interval: 2s → 5s (reduced UsageStatsManager polling overhead)
  • Status bar updates: 5s → 15s (time/battery don't need sub-second accuracy)
  • Cached Bluetooth isConnected() reflection method (avoid repeated reflection per bonded device)
  • Settings loading: 50+ sequential getItem calls replaced by single multiGet batch (1 bridge call)
  • onStartCommand guard: avoid unnecessary overlay destroy/recreate on START_STICKY restart
  • Skip full overlay recreation when parameters haven't changed

• 🌐 REST API Reboot Endpoint: Fixed /api/reboot not executing the reboot

  • Reboot now runs natively via DevicePolicyManager.reboot() instead of through JS bridge
  • No longer depends on React Native bridge being active (works with screen off)
  • Returns clear error if app is not Device Owner

• 🔀 REST API Method Handling: Control endpoints now accept both GET and POST

  • Endpoints without body (/api/screen/on, /api/reboot, /api/reload, etc.) accept GET or POST
  • Endpoints requiring body (/api/url, /api/tts, /api/brightness, etc.) remain POST-only
  • Wrong method on POST-only endpoints now returns 405 "Method Not Allowed" instead of 404 "Not Found"
