Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This section collects common questions about the SoluM Signage Feature Examples project and its purpose.

---

Q1: What is the primary purpose of this example project?

A1: This project aims to provide a practical, code-level guide for developers on how to utilize various device operation features and SoluM's specific Device APIs within an Android environment. It's especially useful for understanding operations that are typically challenging to implement directly on Android without device-specific knowledge.

Q2: Is this a complete digital signage content management system?

A2: No, this is not a complete digital signage content management system (CMS) or a full-fledged signage player. It is a sample application focused on demonstrating how to use specific device-level APIs and features provided by SoluM. It does not include features like remote content updates, scheduling, or sophisticated playlist management typically found in a full CMS.

Q3: Can I use this example as a template for my own Android application?

A3: Yes, you can use the code snippets and API usage patterns demonstrated in this example as a reference or starting point for integrating SoluM's Device API into your own Android applications. However, for general Android project configuration and architectural best practices, it is recommended to refer to official Google Android samples.

Q4: Where can I find more documentation on SoluM's Device API?

A4: This example project showcases specific API calls. For comprehensive documentation on SoluM's Device API, including all available functions, parameters, and behaviors, refer to the official documentation here: SoluM Device API Documentation.

Q5: Why do I need a GitHub Personal Access Token to build this project?

A5: The project retrieves libraries from SoluM's official GitHub Package Repository. During the build process, a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) is required to access this repository.

Q6: Is this example compatible with all SoluM Signage devices?

A6: While this example demonstrates general API usage, compatibility may vary depending on the specific SoluM Signage device model and its firmware version. Newer APIs or features might only be available on certain hardware.
