Importing a Configuration File

Configuration Files

  • If the Configuration file is in a .zip format, it must first be unzipped before saving onto the mobile device. Once imported by SmartBrowser, the configuration files are stored in the following directory.

Internal Storage/Android/data/com.staylinked.smartbrowser/files/config 

File name Comment 
authentication.json Protected area credentials 
configurations.json Various configurations  
defaults.json The default values for new profiles or configurations 
environment.json Global environment variables  
profiles.json Profile configurations and settings 
smartconfig.json The main configuration file for the application, contains different operational settings such as certificate 
urlbasedconfig.json Global configuration settings for URL 
Configuration Files

Configuration File Locations for Import

Device operating system versions dictate the directories that SmartBrowser can import configuration files from.

Android 10 & below

  • For Android devices with OS versions of 10 or below, save the configuration files straight to the working directory of:

Storage/Android/data/com.staylinked.smartbrowser/files/config

Android 11 & Above

  • On Android devices running version 11 or higher, configuration files cannot be saved directly to the working directory due to scoped storage restrictions.
  • Save the configuration files to any of the following directories.
Location Comments 
/sdcard/download Any device
/sdcard/download/StayLinked Any device
/enterprise/usr For Zebra devices only
/storage/IPSM/StayLinked For Honeywell devices only
Where to save configuration files on the mobile device for import

When SmartBrowser is launched, it automatically detects and imports any configuration files found in the specified locations. These files move to the working directory during import, and are subsequently deleted from their original location.
