JoykooScanner — Android Barcode Scanner Kiosk App

What This Is

Native Android app (Kotlin) that wraps https://smart.joykoo.mx/ in a fullscreen WebView for dedicated Chinese industrial handheld barcode scanners. The scanner operates in HID/keyboard-wedge mode — it sends Android key events like a physical keyboard.

Critical Design Decision

The Android soft keyboard must NEVER appear. Keyboard suppression uses multiple layers — do not remove any of them:

1. NoSoftKeyboardWebView.onCheckIsTextEditor() → false
2. EditorInfo flags IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI | IME_FLAG_NO_FULLSCREEN in onCreateInputConnection()
3. InputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow() posted after each InputConnection request and on page load / window focus
4. JavaScript injection setting inputmode="none" on all <input>, <textarea>, and contenteditable elements via MutationObserver
5. Manifest windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustNothing"

The real InputConnection from super.onCreateInputConnection() must be returned — returning null breaks hardware key input from the barcode scanner on devices like the Urovo CT58C.

Project Structure

app/src/main/java/mx/joykoo/scanner/
  AppConfig.kt              — URL, allowed hosts, admin triggers, scanner broadcasts (single config point)
  MainActivity.kt           — Fullscreen kiosk activity, WebView setup, navigation, lifecycle
  NoSoftKeyboardWebView.kt  — IME suppression via null InputConnection
  ScannerIntegration.kt     — Scanner lifecycle interface
  BroadcastScannerIntegration.kt — Intent-output scans → JS injection (React-safe value setter)
  KioskController.kt        — Lock Task kiosk toggle (persisted); device-owner full lockdown + HOME alias, else screen pinning
  KioskAdminReceiver.kt     — DeviceAdminReceiver for `dpm set-device-owner`
  StatusStrip.kt            — App-drawn status strip (Wi-Fi + battery only); system bars stay hidden

Build

• Language: Kotlin, targeting JVM 1.8 bytecode
• SDK: compileSdk 34, minSdk 24, targetSdk 34
• Dependencies: androidx core-ktx, appcompat, webkit, swiperefreshlayout
• Gradle: 8.7 with Kotlin DSL, AGP 8.5.2, Kotlin 1.9.24
• Package: mx.joykoo.scanner

Build prerequisites (not yet installed on this server)

1. sudo dnf install java-17-openjdk-devel — only the JRE is installed, need javac
2. Android SDK cmdline-tools — download to ~/Android/Sdk/, then install:
   • platform-tools
   • platforms;android-34
   • build-tools;34.0.0
3. Set env vars:

   JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-17.0.20.1.1-1.2.el9.x86_64
   ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk
   

4. ./gradlew assembleDebug

Server environment (RHEL 9.8)

• JRE 17 installed at /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-17.0.20.1.1-1.2.el9.x86_64
• 323 GB free on /home, 5.5 GB free on /
• curl, wget, unzip, zip available
• No Android SDK present anywhere

Configuration

All configurable values are in AppConfig.kt:

• HOME_URL — the webpage to load
• ALLOWED_HOSTS — domains that stay inside the WebView
• BACK_PRESS_EXIT_COUNT / BACK_PRESS_WINDOW_MS — back-button exit guard
• ADMIN_VOLUME_HOLD_MS — hold Volume Up + Volume Down this long to open the admin dialog
• ADMIN_BARCODE — scanning this value (Intent mode) opens the admin dialog
• KIOSK_BARCODE — scanning this value (Intent mode) toggles kiosk lockdown
• RENDERER_CRASH_LIMIT / RENDERER_CRASH_WINDOW_MS — WebView crash auto-recovery limit

Navigation Rules

• URLs on joykoo.mx or smart.joykoo.mx (and subdomains) load inside the WebView
• All other URLs are silently blocked
• Back button goes back in WebView history; 3 rapid presses exits when no history
• Admin dialog (exit / toggle soft keyboard): hold both volume keys 3 s, or scan ADMIN_BARCODE. Volume keys are consumed and never reach the page. No touch gestures — corner taps leaked through to site UI

Kiosk & Errors

• Kiosk mode (KioskController): when on, admin dialog hides "Salir" and Back never exits. Device owner required for real lockdown; the app can't be uninstalled while device owner, so set it only with the release-signed APK.
• Error overlay: per-cause messages (no Wi-Fi with auto-retry on reconnect, unreachable, 5xx, SSL, repeated renderer crash). 4xx responses are left to the site.
• Renderer crash (onRenderProcessGone): the WebView is replaced and the last URL (tracked via doUpdateVisitedHistory) reloaded.

Security

• HTTPS only, no cleartext, mixed content never allowed, no SSL error bypass
• No JavaScript interfaces exposed
• No file:// or content:// access
• Network security config enforces system trust anchors only
• Domain allowlist in WebViewClient
