Provisioning

KioWare Lite for Android includes a provisioning feature that allows certain settings and any embedded resources (images, addins, etc.) to be auto-loaded during installation.  (For more information on embedding and importing resources, see Import/Export of Settings, Images, and Other Resources.) When a special XML file (named kioware_provision.xml) containing these settings is placed under /sdcard/KioWare_Provision, KioWare Lite for Android will auto-load these settings the first time you run KioWare. It will not attempt provisioning again until you have uninstalled/re-installed or have cleared application data.  Only the following tags containing settings may be included in the XML file, and each tag is optional:

<xmlconfigurl value="[URL]" />
URLEnter the URL of the XML settings (configuration) file, and its settings and any embedded resources will be auto-loaded in the Configuration Tool.  The URL can be a web address, local file path, or Google Drive.

Note: If using Google Drive, use the following tag: <xmlconfigurl value="DriveId:[DriveID]" />.
<EULA value="Agree" />
