How does our android client work?

Our Android client displays Content, Loop, and Schedule. It is a full-screen HTML browser that also allows other functionalities:

  • Controls the device and the performance of the client application
  • Communicates with content inside the PeakSignage CMS
  • Maintains the system

Does my device need to be rooted?

It is recommended to run our client application on a rooted device, but it can also be run on non-rooted devices.

Certain features are unavailable on non-rooted devices:

  • Background Updates
  • System time synchronization to a server clock
  • Lock down device
  • Replace WebView

Does my device need an internet connection?

Since our application communicates with our server it is mandatory to enable the wifi or an Ethernet connection for communication.

However, when the device is successfully registered and caches the Content / Loop / Schedule it can be run in an offline mode.

Certain features are unavailable if you run the device in offline mode:

  • Background updates
  • System time synchronization to a server clock
  • Recieve any command from the server
