Each flavor gets applicationIdSuffix = ".<name>" so the Bravia getApplicationList API returns a distinct URI per webview, enabling Control4 to launch specific flavors independently. BREAKING CHANGE: applicationId changed from cz.c3c.webviewkiosk to cz.c3c.webviewkiosk.<flavor> — uninstall old app before reinstalling. BuildConfig.DASHBOARD_URL renamed to WEBVIEW_URL.

# android-webview-kiosk
|
||
|
||
Fullscreen WebView kiosk for Android TV. Shows configurable web pages
|
||
defined in `webviews.yaml`. Target device: Sony Bravia KD-65XE9305 (Android 8.0).
|
||
Built for remote launch via the Bravia REST IP-control API, driven by Control4.
|
||
|
||
## Webviews
|
||
|
||
Defined in `webviews.yaml` at repo root:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
weather:
|
||
url: https://grafana.c3c.cz/public-dashboards/...
|
||
label: Weather # shown in Bravia launcher
|
||
|
||
house_condition:
|
||
url: http://grafana.c3c.cz/public-dashboards/...
|
||
label: House Condition
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Each entry produces a separate APK with a unique `applicationId`
|
||
(`cz.c3c.webviewkiosk.<name>`). Names must be valid Gradle identifiers
|
||
(letters, digits, underscores — no hyphens).
|
||
|
||
## Build
|
||
|
||
# all flavors
|
||
nix develop --command gradle --no-daemon :app:assembleRelease
|
||
|
||
# single flavor
|
||
nix develop --command gradle --no-daemon :app:assembleWeatherRelease
|
||
|
||
APKs: `app/build/outputs/apk/<flavor>/release/<flavor>-release.apk`
|
||
|
||
## Sideload
|
||
|
||
1. TV one-time: Settings → About → press *Build* 7× → Developer options →
|
||
enable ADB debugging.
|
||
2. `adb connect <tv-ip>:5555`
|
||
3. `adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/weather/release/weather-release.apk`
|
||
|
||
Fresh install (first time or changing applicationId):
|
||
|
||
adb uninstall cz.c3c.webviewkiosk.<flavor>
|
||
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/<flavor>/release/<flavor>-release.apk
|
||
|
||
Upgrades: bump `versionCode` in `app/build.gradle.kts`, rebuild, reinstall
|
||
with `-r`. Same committed keystore = no uninstall needed.
|
||
|
||
## Remote launch (Sony Bravia IP control)
|
||
|
||
TV prerequisite: IP control auth = "Normal and Pre-Shared Key", Remote
|
||
start enabled (wake from deep standby).
|
||
|
||
Each webview flavor has its own URI — retrieve per-flavor URIs via
|
||
`getApplicationList`. Example for `weather` (`cz.c3c.webviewkiosk.weather`):
|
||
|
||
`com.sony.dtv.cz.c3c.webviewkiosk.weather.cz.c3c.webviewkiosk.weather.MainActivity`
|
||
|
||
**`setActiveApp` alone wakes the TV from standby** — no separate
|
||
`setPowerStatus` call is needed. The Control4 driver can use a single call:
|
||
|
||
curl -s -X POST http://$TV_IP/sony/appControl \
|
||
-H "X-Auth-PSK: $PSK" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||
-d '{"method":"setActiveApp","id":601,"version":"1.0","params":[{"uri":"<flavor-uri>"}]}'
|
||
|
||
If the TV is already on, `setActiveApp` brings the kiosk to the foreground.
|
||
If in standby, it wakes and launches directly.
|
||
|
||
For reference, the two-step sequence (if needed for other integrations):
|
||
|
||
# 1. wake (optional — setActiveApp does this implicitly)
|
||
curl -s -X POST http://$TV_IP/sony/system \
|
||
-H "X-Auth-PSK: $PSK" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||
-d '{"method":"setPowerStatus","id":55,"version":"1.0","params":[{"status":true}]}'
|
||
|
||
# 2. launch (~6 s from quick standby, up to ~30 s from deep eco standby)
|
||
curl -s -X POST http://$TV_IP/sony/appControl \
|
||
-H "X-Auth-PSK: $PSK" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
||
-d '{"method":"setActiveApp","id":601,"version":"1.0","params":[{"uri":"<flavor-uri>"}]}'
|
||
|
||
Control4: a DriverWorks driver issuing `setActiveApp` is a separate project.
