Datalogic Android SDK 1.40 is now available.

This update introduces a long list of features to restrict the user capabilities on a device controlled by a remote administrator, such as Notification shade, Quick Settings panel, Android Settings, connectivity, sharing capability, screenshots, etc.

It also improves the user experience by introducing the Desktop Mode, by improving the performance with the Virtual Ram and by silently pairing the CodiScan by default.

Finally, the homepage features an introduction designed to present the key features of the SDK. This overview provides programmers and customers with a clear understanding of the SDK's capabilities.
