EverShelf Kiosk
Android kiosk app that displays the EverShelf web interface in full-screen mode while running the Smart Scale BLE Gateway as a background service.
Features
- Full-screen WebView — displays EverShelf in immersive kiosk mode (no status bar, no navigation)
- Built-in Scale Gateway — BLE connection to smart scales with WebSocket server on port 8765
- Auto-reconnect — automatically reconnects to the last connected scale
- Foreground service — gateway runs even when the screen is off
- Camera pass-through — allows barcode scanning from within the WebView
- Error recovery — shows retry page when the server is unreachable
Setup
- Install the APK on your Android tablet/phone
- On first launch, grant Bluetooth and Location permissions
- Tap the subtle ⚙️ icon in the top-right corner to configure the EverShelf server URL
- In EverShelf settings, set the Scale Gateway URL to
ws://localhost:8765
