When my google cardboard app starts up for the first time, it launches a Google page that says "Google Cardboard. Let's get you set up. Pair your phone with your viewer for the best experience."
I'd like to control this experience to show my own initial screen before the google cardboard sdk launches. One reason for this is that I want people without cardboard to be able to immediately start experiencing the app in non-cardboard mode without having to go through the pairing process.
I know I can launch the pairing / viewer profile selector later on with the cardboard.ShowSettingsDialog().
One way to do this with the current version of the SDK is to have a starter scene without a Cardboard component in it. It will not be in VR, and it won't trigger onboarding.
[edit] The function OnFocus() in CardboardiOSDevice.cs is where it decides to launch the onboarding dialog. You can suppress that by editing this function. But you may want to continue using the onboarding dialog for first time users, rather than the settings dialog, because of it walks them through the scanning process.

I am developing a mobile app for iOS using Ionic Framework 4 with Cordova/PhoneGap. The app contains sensitive information. One of the requirements is that the screen become hidden/blank whenever the user pauses the app (i.e. when they press the Home button).
Normally iOS takes a snapshot of the current screen whenever the user presses the Home button. This snapshot needs to be blank.
Is there a plugin for Cordova/PhoneGap or Ionic Native which can be used to make the screen blank?
It appears that this cannot be accomplished through JavaScript inside the webview. The pause can be detected but no interactive code works at that point, so it is too late to blank out the screen. See http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0rc1/cordova_events_events.md.html#pause
The pause can be intercepted earlier by native iOS code, but this would require a Cordova/PhoneGap plugin. I am hoping someone here can recommend a plugin that can detect the pause and hide the screen.
I am using Google Map in an iOS app built for a client. I know that the logo at the bottom cannot and shouldn't be removed at any time. I am wondering whether I can disable the click action and stop the app jumping or not, since the client don't want the app to open an external app.
I have home screen quick actions for my iOS 9 app, but I don't need it to open the app. It actually schedule reminders and that's it. Is there a way to make the home screen quick action not to open the app?
Quick actions are designed to be used to quickly navigate to a section of your app, eg on the camera app there is selfie mode, box mode, panorama mode, timelapse mode etc. These are all sections of the app. To the best of my knowledge you cant have a quick action that just runs code without opening the app. Otherwise how will the user know that the code has worked and it has been executed?
This functionality would be cool but i believe it is impossible as of current. The closest you can get is make it so it opens the app to a ViewController that just says "Reminder Scheduled".
we are developing hybrid application on Worklight.
After the user launches the application on iOS, he will see the login screen, providing his credentials, he is inside our application.
Now, if the user clicked the home button for iOS before "logging out" from the app, the iOS will take a snapshot and store it inside the device cache.
By using IExplorer, I can see this screen cached, which in our situation a high critical issue.
How can I a override this screen with a white screen, in case the user clicked the home button of the iOS device it will be populated immediately, and the device will not snapshot the user main screen.?
Is there any thumbnail I can add to my nativeResource folder for iOS to solve this issue?
thank you.
I encourage you to look at the Worklight Knowledge Center. In most cases, you will find your answer.
To control the snapshot taken by the OS when moving to the background, you need to use the following API methods, depending on your needs:
WL.App.BackgroundHandler.setOnAppEnteringBackground and WL.App.BackgroundHandler.setOnAppEnteringForeground
I recently upgraded my old iPhone app and the new state restore iOS 3/4 feature has introduced a problem. I don't know the name of this restore state feature - what is it called?
Here is my problem scenario:
I navigate into a detail screen on my app. I click a button to navigate to an address and it launches google maps as expected. Then I launch my app again. It briefly shows the last screen I was on, but immediately launches the google map again.
What I want is to simply restore the detail screen that I was last on.
Any hints?
thanks
It is called multitasking, and it is built in automatically when you build under iOS 4.0+. Without you posting any code, it is tough so say, but why don't you put a breakpoint at the line that redirects to Google Maps and see what is calling it. Then you can backtrack to see why it is being called on the reopening of the app.
