API: Delay Refresh After Remote Update

This JavaScript API allows you to delay a refresh of the homepage when a remote update is downloaded and would otherwise be applied immediately.

This API is based on the use of a special JavaScript callback. Kiosk Pro runs this callback after an appropriate update event occurs, but before updating the user interface.

Requirements

• Integration of our JavaScript API into your webpage
• Sample code to run within the app and download for integration into your own project is available here.
• Best practices for working with the JavaScript API are available here.
• App Settings
• Content > JavaScript API > Access JavaScript API = By Import
• Remote Settings Control and/or Remote Update of Local Files = configured

Notifications via API Callbacks

Delay Homepage Refresh After Settings or Content Update

This callback is run any time Kiosk Pro checks for a Remote Settings Control or Remote Update Of Local Files update and finds a new update. The callback defines the specific event that has triggered the update, allowing you to define whether to allow or prevent the update based on the triggering event.

Generally when the app finds new content or settings, it will check for user interaction with the device and if no interaction is seen, will refresh the homepage to apply the update. If this callback is used to prevent application of the update, the app will still download the new content and/or settings, but will delay applying them until the app returns to the homepage.

Note: If no new settings or content are found during a check, Kiosk Pro will not attempt to refresh the homepage or engage this callback.
