Webconverger/android

Repository files navigation

Why is Webconverger better than the competition?

  • Opensource - absolutely transparent. Calling for peer preview. Accountable. Trustworthy. Leading Opensource kiosk effort since 2007.
  • Long term: Same API so it doesn't matter what device (PC or Android) you use to setup a Digital Sign or interactive Web terminal.

Locked down with Android 5.0 features such as Managed provisioning over NFC & Screen Pinning. The con is that this App only works on Android 5.0 currently.

"Managed provisioning over NFC" should help setup many devices quickly without need for a Google Account. This also has the added benefit of not getting stuck on the lock screen.

Development setup and dependencies

Using Android Studio 1.0.2 and Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

Configuration service business model

Webconverger's business model like the PC version we will ask for payment to remotely administer the kiosk via https://config.webconverger.com/ to maintain/develop both PC & Android versions long into the future.
