Features
Anbox Cloud includes some features which are not enabled by default but can be conditionally enabled. The features are enabled by flags which are configured through AMS. You can configure the feature flags either globally for all containers or per application.
To configure a feature globally for all containers, use a command similar to the following:
amc config set container.feature foo,bar
To configure a feature for one application in the manifest, use a syntax similar to the following:
name: my-app
instance-type: a4.3
features: ["foo", "bar"]
System UI
since 1.10.2
By default, Anbox hides the Android system UI when an application is running in foreground mode. In some use cases, however, it’s required to have the system UI available for navigation purposes. This can be enabled with the enable_system_ui feature flag.
The feature flag will be considered by all new launched containers once set.
Virtual Keyboard
since 1.9.0
The Android virtual keyboard is disabled by default but can be enabled with the enable_virtual_keyboard feature flag.
For the feature to be considered, applications must be manually updated, because changes to allow the feature to work are only applied during the application bootstrap process.
Wi-Fi
since 1.12.0
Wi-Fi support can be optionally enabled. Anbox will then set up a virtual Wi-Fi device, which sits on top of an ethernet connection and simulates a real Wi-Fi connection.
The feature flag will be considered by all newly launched containers once set.
Android reboot
since 1.12.0
By default, Android is not allowed to reboot. With the allow_android_reboot feature flag, this can be allowed.
Note that you must disable the watchdog if reboots are allowed.
The feature flag will be considered by all newly launched containers once set.
