Configuration Options
You can customize the behavior of the UserView Android SDK through configuration options.
Setting Configuration
Use the UpscopeConfiguration.Builder when initializing the SDK:
val config = UpscopeConfiguration.Builder("YOUR_API_KEY")
.requireAuthorizationForSession(true)
.authorizationPromptTitle("Screen Sharing Request")
.authorizationPromptMessage("Allow {%agentName%|Support} to view your screen?")
.endOfSessionMessage("Thanks for using screen sharing!")
.translationsYes("Allow")
.translationsNo("Decline")
.build()
Upscope.initialize(applicationContext, config)
Configuration Options
Each option resolves in this order: a value you pass here overrides the matching dashboard setting, which overrides the SDK's built-in default (shown in the Default column).
Message Placeholders
The authorizationPromptMessage supports these placeholders:
{%agentName%|fallback}- Agent's name with a fallback if unavailable{%currentDomain%}- App name on Android
Example:
.authorizationPromptMessage("{%agentName%|Our support team} would like to view your screen")
UI Display
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
showTerminateButton | Boolean | (Set through the admin interface) | Show a button to end the screen sharing session. |
showUpscopeLink | Boolean | true | Show the UserView link to the user. Setting this to false only works if whitelabeling is included in your plan. |
endOfSessionMessage | String | (Set through the admin interface) | Message displayed when the session ends. |
stopSessionText | String | (Set through the admin interface) | Custom text for the stop session button. |
Remote Control
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
allowRemoteClick | Boolean | (Set through the admin interface) | Allow agents to remotely tap on the screen. |
allowRemoteScroll | Boolean | (Set through the admin interface) | Allow agents to remotely scroll the screen. |
requireControlRequest | Boolean | false | Require user approval before agents can use remote input. Resolved from the value set here, else the team's dashboard setting, else false. When it resolves false, remote input is granted without a separate control request. |
controlRequestTitle | String | (Set through the admin interface) | Custom title for the control request prompt. |
controlRequestMessage | String | (Set through the admin interface) | Custom message for the control request prompt. |
Lookup Code
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enableLookupCodeOnShake | Boolean | (Set through the admin interface) | Show lookup code dialog when device is shaken. |
lookupCodeKeyTitle | String | (Set through the admin interface) | Custom title for the shake detection dialog. |
lookupCodeKeyMessage | String | (Set through the admin interface) | Custom message for shake dialog. Supports {%lookupCode%} placeholder. |
Localization Strings
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
translationsYes | String | Custom text for "Allow" button in authorization prompt. |
translationsNo | String | Custom text for "Deny" button in authorization prompt. |
translationsOk | String | Custom text for "OK" button. |
Multi-Language Translations
Every text option (titles, messages, and the strings above) also accepts a map keyed by language code instead of a single string. The translation matching the device language is shown, falling back to en if the device language isn't included:
.translationsYes(mapOf("en" to "Yes", "it" to "Si"))
.translationsNo(mapOf("en" to "No", "it" to "No"))
All of these can also be configured per language through the dashboard.
System Options
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
autoConnect | Boolean | Automatically connect on initialization. Default: true (set through the admin interface). |
region | String | Server region for connections. |
onPremiseBaseEndpoint | String | The base endpoint of your on-premise deployment (your instance's BASE_ENDPOINT), e.g. "https://cobrowsing.acmetech.com". When set, the SDK connects to your instance instead of the cloud servers, and region is ignored. |
allowFullScreen | Boolean | Allow agents to request full device screen sharing during sessions. Also requires the setup described in Full Device Screen Sharing. (Set through the admin interface) |
disableFullScreenWhenMasked | Boolean | When true, full device screen sharing is automatically declined if any masked views are present. (Set through the admin interface) |
webviewMaskedElements | List | List of CSS selectors (e.g. listOf(".credit-card")) to redact inside WebViews enrolled with redactWebView. Merged with the dashboard Masked elements setting and with selectors passed to redactWebView; a local list never disables dashboard masking. |
