Issue / Question
MC18 Android disabling power menu
Applicable To
MC18 Kitkat, MC18 Lollipop
Resolution / Answer
A custom feature/application in MC18 called navbarconfig app that can be used to achieve this. This app takes XML file based configuration and can:
Hide the entire navbar (soft key panel with back, home, recent apps, power menu) completely
Hide the power menu (the other 3 buttons back, home, recent apps will remain).
A navbarconfig xml file examples depending on the need:
A. hidenavbarinstant – show/hide the navbar and the top status bar instantly/dynamically [this change doesn’t persist over reboots]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <navbarconfig> <hidenavbarinstant>true</hidenavbarinstant> </navbarconfig>
B. hidenavbar – hides the navbar and persists across reboot. But requires a reboot after pushing the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <navbarconfig> <hidenavbar>true</hidenavbar> </navbarconfig>
C. hidepwrbtn – hides the power button option and persists across reboot. But requires a reboot after pushing the xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <navbarconfig> <hidepwrbtn>true</hidepwrbtn> </navbarconfig>
The corresponding xml needs to be pushed to /enterprise/device/settings/navbarconfig/ folder of the device.
