Returning app state to start #43
Description
Timer idea
If this app is going to be a kiosk app, we would want some way of returning the app to the main state. One possible idea is a javascript timer on all child pages that brings us back to the main page after a certain amount of time.
Benefits
- This will allow state to reset easily for other users
- The process is automatic, which is great for a kiosk
Drawbacks
- This is automatic, which is NOT good for people using it personally
- If the time bound is too long, other residents waiting to use it may not have had the reset happen before they arrive.
Home button
We may be able to program the home button to return us to start if implemented properly as a kiosk app
Benefits
- We have the ability to let anybody start over, thereby avoiding the timing issue
Drawbacks
- May be hard to implement. Still probably would want both.
- Can't use on non kiosk apps easily as that would violate OS rules I think on button capabilities.
