New Features

  • Web page display
    • Full screen operation
      • Pages can be viewed using a full height viewport.
      • The browser and system navigation bars automatically hide when browsing a web page.
    • Wide viewport disable
      • Web pages can be forced to use a viewport whose width matches the physical screen. This can help with pages which otherwise appear very small.

Corrected Defects

  • After changing the list of allowed web sites, the navigation history is now cleared to prevent accessing those sites.
  • JavaScript objects were not being injected under certain conditions, preventing use of the JavaScript SDK.
  • Not all images were listed when selecting a custom image for the wallpaper or icon on the Favorites screen.
  • When tapping the back navigation from a blocked site, the browser would go back two pages (instead of just one).
  • When configuring allowed sites through an EMM or Scan2Deploy, the title was not always displayed when configured to use the title from its web page.

Datalogic Enterprise Browser is now available. It is an Android application used for web browsing to only allowed websites. It also includes a JavaScript interface which exposes access to the barcode scanner. These features combine to allow the device to run web-based applications which need to access the scanner in a safe, controlled environment. You can access the documentation here.

The features available in the initial release are:

  • Locked down browsing
    • Prevents browsing to sites outside allowed domains (and optionally subdomains).
    • Access to allowed domains and device features can be configured.
    • Configuration protected by Admin password.
  • Favorites Page
    • Can launch allowed sites
    • UI appearance of site listing can be configured (labels, icons, layout, wallpaper).
  • External control
    • Configurable from device, Scan2Deploy Studio or EMM console.
