Manage profiles using SDK and Intent

A configuration Profile includes the scanner configuration, Workflow Rules and other other configurations specific for the INSIGHT Mobile (Android) app. Profiles are identified using a unique profile name (ID).

Profile commands, like all commands that trigger an action on a scanner, are queued in INSIGHT Mobile by default.

By providing a boolean valued extra com.proglove.api.extra.REPLACE_QUEUE or a special flag in PgCommandParams, this behavior can be changed to replace the queue with the new command.

To learn more, see Command queueing in Insight Mobile.

Change an active profile

To change the active configuration profile using SDK, call changeConfigProfile() on your PgManager reference with the following parameters:

  • PgCommand object holding the PgConfigProfile and optional PgCommandParams. The containing PgConfigProfile must have a set profile name (profileId).

  • The object implementing IPgConfigProfileCallback. After the profile is successfully set (or in case of any errors), the IPgConfigProfileCallback is called with the relevant information.

You can also broadcast an Intent with the following data:

  • Action: com.proglove.api.CHANGE_CONFIG_PROFILE

  • Extra: String in com.proglove.api.extra.CONFIG_PROFILE_ID

Activation is successful if the profile with the specified ID exists in the configuration file.

Example 59. SDK
val profileName: String = "myProfileToSet"

pgManager.changeConfigProfile(
    PgCommand(PgConfigProfile(profileName)),
    object : IPgConfigProfileCallback {
        override fun onConfigProfileChanged(profile: PgConfigProfile) {
            runOnUiThread {
                Toast.makeText(
                    applicationContext,
                    "${profile.profileId} set successfully",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG
                ).show()
            }
        }

        override fun onError(error: PgError) {
            runOnUiThread {
                Toast.makeText(
                    applicationContext,
                    "Failed to set $profileName - $error",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG
                ).show()
            }
        }
    }
)


Example 60. Intent
val profileName: String = "myProfileToSet"

val intent = Intent()
intent.setAction("com.proglove.api.CHANGE_CONFIG_PROFILE")
intent.putExtra("com.proglove.api.extra.CONFIG_PROFILE_ID", profileName)
sendBroadcast(intent)


Note

  • Explicit activation is only successful if the profile with the specified ID exists in the configuration file. Trying to replace an active profile with a non-existing profile ID using the SDK, returns an error. When changing it via Intent, there is no possibility to return an error.

  • Profiles can only be changed when INSIGHT Mobile is running.

Read profiles

Prerequisite: INSIGHT Mobile (Android) version 1.7.0, and SDK version 1.4.0 or higher.

To get all available configuration profiles, call getConfigProfiles() on your PgManager reference with the following parameters:

  • The object implementing IPgGetConfigProfilesCallback. After reading the profiles (or in case of any errors), the IPgGetConfigProfilesCallback is called with the relevant information.

You can also broadcast an Intent with the following data:

  • Action: com.proglove.api.GET_CONFIG_PROFILES

  • No extras

Example 61. SDK
pgManager.getConfigProfiles(
    object : IPgGetConfigProfilesCallback {
        override fun onConfigProfilesReceived(profiles: Array<PgConfigProfile>) {
            val activeProfileId = profiles.firstOrNull { profile ->
                profile.isActive
            }?.profileId

            runOnUiThread {
                Toast.makeText(
                    applicationContext,
                    "Received ${profiles.size} config profiles with \"$activeProfileId\" as the active one",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG
                ).show()
            }
        }

        override fun onError(error: PgError) {
            runOnUiThread {
                Toast.makeText(
                    applicationContext,
                    "Failed to get profiles - $error",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG
                ).show()
            }
        }
    }
)


Example 62. Intent
val intent = Intent()
intent.setAction("com.proglove.api.GET_CONFIG_PROFILES")
sendBroadcast(intent)

// This will trigger the `com.proglove.api.CONFIG_PROFILES` broadcast from the Insight Mobile app.
// The broadcasted Intent contains the list of all configuration profiles and the active profile.  
// To receive the broadcasted intent:

// 1 Implement a broadcast receiver (in this case the class is called `MessageHandler`):

class MessageHandler : BroadcastReceiver() {
    override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
        if (intent != null && intent.action == "com.proglove.api.CONFIG_PROFILES") {
            val configProfilesIds : Array<String> = intent.getStringArrayExtra(ApiConstants.EXTRA_CONFIG_PROFILE_ID) ?: emptyArray()
            val activeProfileId = intent.getStringExtra(ApiConstants.EXTRA_CONFIG_PROFILE_ACTIVE_ID) ?: ""

            runOnUiThread {
                Toast.makeText(
                    applicationContext,
                    "Received ${configProfilesIds.size} config profiles with \"$activeProfileId\" as the active one",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG
                ).show()
            }
        }
    }
}

// 2 define an IntentFilter filtering for the specified actions:

val messageHandler: MessageHandler = MessageHandler()
val filter = IntentFilter()
filter.addAction("com.proglove.api.CONFIG_PROFILES")
filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT)

// 3 Somewhere where a context is available (usually an Activity's or Service's onCreate):

context.registerReceiver(messageHandler, filter)

// Do not forget to unregister the receiver again, for example in onDestroy:

context.unregisterReceiver(messageHandler)
