The Android Watchdog ist an optional app which enables automatic period checks whether the Player app is running or not and restarts it if needed. On rooted Android OS devices the Watchdog also offers automatic updates for the sklera player app.
The watchdog is recommended for the app versions labeled 'Latest Release' and 'Latest crosswalk Release' above. The Kiosk Mode Release comes with no internal autoupdater and installing the Android Watchdog in conjunction with it may lead to problems and needs to be tested before rollout.
