Configure – Home Screen Apps

Web GUI (Basic Workspace)

You can add one extra app to the Home Screen of the RealWear Navigator, to do this, select the first item (currently 'not set'), choose your app from the drop down list and select save, this will update on your device the next time it is powered on.

If you'd like a more advanced level of configuration for Basic Workspaces see the Advanced mode below

If you have a PRO Workspace, you have more options available to you such as, the ability to configure all apps on the home screen, use Kiosk Mode, and easily upload a background image to the device. Learn more here

Format and Options

Up to 5 applications may be displayed on the Home Screen as specified in the indicated configuration file.

Applications shown by default include My Programs, My Camera, and My Files but these can be changed as well.

If a specified app is not installed on the device it will not appear on the Home Screen; once the app is installed by any means it will appear on the Home Screen without further modification (assuming that the packagename in the config file is correct). All packagenames must match the target exactly and are case sensitive.

apps: a list of package names
packagename: the package name of the application to be added
