Class CustomerMode

java.lang.Object

com.clover.sdk.util.CustomerMode

public class CustomerMode
extends Object

This class allows an app to check and update the state of customer mode. Customer mode is a feature available on Clover devices (except Station) that allows an activity run fullscreen on the primary display without the navigation bar or status bar and without the ability to do a gesture to bring them back.

Unless you intend for all users of the device to be locked out of all other applications you should ensure that your application always has some way to exit customer mode so the operator can exit your app and manage the device.

Secondary Display Support

Activities running on secondary display of a multi-display device need not invoke the methods here since secondary display has no navigation bar or status bar and has no exit gestures by default. The enable and disable methods will attempt to detect if the passed context is an activity and if so will perform no action on a secondary display activity.

Original Station

If you are writing an application for the original Clover Station, this class won't function properly. Instead using the following code snippet to get Clover Station into customer mode.

   if (!Platform2.supportsFeature(context, Platform2.Feature.CUSTOMER_MODE)) {
       getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
           View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
           | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
           | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
           | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
           | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
           | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
           | 0x10000000);
   }
