KioWare Lite for Android Overview

Do you have questions about KioWare Lite for Android?  If so, we have the answers.

What is the purpose?Allows you to lock down your Android browser or entire Android tablet, so the tablet can be used securely as a digital sign, kiosk, or self-service tool.  In other words, when using KioWare Lite for Android, you ensure that no one can turn off your tablet, hack into it, or damage any applications you are running on it.  You can also limit which applications are run on the tablet, as well as which websites the browser can access.
What are the key components?KioWare Lite for Android (a browser shell application) and the KioWare Lite for Android Configuration Tool (Config Tool), which contains all the settings for running the KioWare browser
How does it work?You first use the Config Tool to set up how you want KioWare Lite for Android to work.  The Config Tool then “talks” to the KioWare browser, telling it how to run.  The browser is opened by clicking a desktop icon, and once it runs, it creates a safe environment for public use of your tablet.
What is the application type?Browser-based
Where is it installed?On your Android tablet
Are different models available?Three models are available: Lite, Basic, and Full.
  • Lite provides browser lockdown protection, limits on the Android applications that are run, resetting of apps/clearing of prior user session, security audits, and automatic updating of settings from an XML file.
  • Basic provides everything that comes with Lite, plus support for using external devices, add-ins, and the tablet's camera.
  • Full provides everything that comes with Basic, and also allows you to monitor multiple tablets from a central location.
Can it be used with some type of server application?Only the Full model can, which includes a KioWare Server product.  This is installed on your server, and can be set up to “talk” to multiple tablets that are running KioWare Lite for Android.
What is in it?Multiple tools to secure your browser and tablet, run attract screens, display a main toolbar, import/export settings, and use addins and devices.  (See KioWare Lite for Android Tools below.)
Who can access it?Whomever you want.  An exit password and other security features keep unwanted users from exiting the KioWare browser and accessing system files and other items on your tablet.
Is it available in different languages?Yes, it can be translated to French, German, or Spanish (see Quick Start Guide, Configuration Tool, Translations).
What are some important things to know about running it?You will want to set a home page (see Configuration Tool, General Tab, Start Page URL) that appears when you open the KioWare browser.  If no home page is set, the KioWare Welcome screen will display.

Also, by default, the KioWare browser is not locked down for maximum security; you must change settings in the Config Tool (Quick Start Guide, Configuration Tool) to be fully secure and ready for public use.  The Audit tab (see Configuration Tool, Audit Tab) will show you the current settings, and those that are red or yellow are not set for maximum security and should be changed.

Plus, it is always good to look at our Best Practices for the best (and easiest) ways to set up KioWare Lite for Android.

KioWare Lite for Android Tools

These tools, located in the Config Tool (see Quick Start Guide, Configuration Tool), make it easy to tell the KioWare browser how to run by setting up security and special features of KioWare Lite for Android.

General tabProvides basic settings for using your tablet and KioWare Lite for Android (e.g., sets home page, screen orientation, and tablet sleep mode, and enables KioWare Lite for Android to start during boot and auto-load settings from an XML file)
Browser tabDetermines how the Android browser and KioWare browser will run during a user session (e.g., how zooming, popup windows, SSL errors, and media auto play are handled, and if data is stored or cleared)
Attract/Inactivity tabDetermines how the KioWare browser will run when sitting idle between user sessions (e.g., what screens will show, when and for how long, and if alerts should appear)
Toolbar tabUsed to show/hide buttons and options on the KioWare browser toolbar
Security tabSets up security for KioWare Lite for Android and your tablet (e.g., how the KioWare browser will handle file downloads, applications that are running, and various web pages, and if it shows the tablet's system bar or requires an exit password)
License tabDisplays information on your KioWare Lite for Android license and can be used to get a license
Audit tabProvides a color-coded audit to show settings that will not give the KioWare browser its maximum security
