DeviceAdminReceiver

Kotlin |Java

public class DeviceAdminReceiver
extends BroadcastReceiver

java.lang.Object
↳	android.content.BroadcastReceiver
	↳	android.app.admin.DeviceAdminReceiver

Base class for implementing a device administration component. This class provides a convenience for interpreting the raw intent actions that are sent by the system.

The callback methods, like the base BroadcastReceiver.onReceive() method, happen on the main thread of the process. Thus long running operations must be done on another thread. Note that because a receiver is done once returning from its receive function, such long-running operations should probably be done in a Service.

When publishing your DeviceAdmin subclass as a receiver, it must handle ACTION_DEVICE_ADMIN_ENABLED and require the Manifest.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN permission. A typical manifest entry would look like:

<receiver android:name=".app.DeviceAdminSample$DeviceAdminSampleReceiver"
        android:label="@string/sample_device_admin"
        android:description="@string/sample_device_admin_description"
        android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN">
    <meta-data android:name="android.app.device_admin"
               android:resource="@xml/device_admin_sample" />
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.app.action.DEVICE_ADMIN_ENABLED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver android:name=".app.DeviceAdminSample$DeviceAdminSampleReceiver2"
    android:label="@string/sample_device_admin2"
    android:description="@string/sample_device_admin_description2"
    android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN">
    <meta-data android:name="android.app.device_admin"
        android:resource="@xml/device_admin_sample" />
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.app.action.DEVICE_ADMIN_ENABLED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

The meta-data referenced here provides addition information specific to the device administrator, as parsed by the DeviceAdminInfo class. A typical file would be:

<device-admin xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-policies>
        <limit-password />
        <watch-login />
        <reset-password />
        <force-lock />
        <wipe-data />
        <expire-password />
        <encrypted-storage />
        <disable-camera />
        <disable-keyguard-features />
    </uses-policies>
</device-admin>

Broadcast Action: This broadcast is sent to indicate that provisioning of a managed profile or managed device has completed successfully.

The broadcast is limited to the profile that will be managed by the application that requested provisioning. In the device owner case the profile is the primary user. The broadcast will also be limited to the DeviceAdminReceiver component specified in the original intent or NFC bump that started the provisioning process (see DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_PROVISION_MANAGED_PROFILE).

A device admin application which listens to this intent can find out if the device was provisioned for the device owner or profile owner case by calling respectively DevicePolicyManager.isDeviceOwnerApp(String) and DevicePolicyManager.isProfileOwnerApp(String).

onLockTaskModeExiting

Added in API level 21

public void onLockTaskModeExiting (Context context, 
                Intent intent)

Called when a device is exiting lock task mode.

onNetworkLogsAvailable

Added in API level 26

public void onNetworkLogsAvailable (Context context, 
                Intent intent, 
                long batchToken, 
                int networkLogsCount)

Called each time a new batch of network logs can be retrieved. This callback method will only ever be called when network logging is enabled. The logs can only be retrieved while network logging is enabled.

If a secondary user or profile is created, this callback won't be received until all users become affiliated again (even if network logging is enabled). It will also no longer be possible to retrieve the network logs batch with the most recent batchToken provided by this callback. See DevicePolicyManager.setAffiliationIds.

This callback is only applicable to device owners and profile owners.

This callback is triggered by a foreground broadcast and the app should ensure that any long-running work is not executed synchronously inside the callback.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The running context as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)`. This value cannot be `null`.
`intent`	`Intent`: The received intent as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)`. This value cannot be `null`.
`batchToken`	`long`: The token representing the current batch of network logs.
`networkLogsCount`	`int`: The total count of events in the current batch of network logs. Value is 1 or greater

onOperationSafetyStateChanged

Added in API level 31

public void onOperationSafetyStateChanged (Context context, 
                int reason, 
                boolean isSafe)

Called to notify the state of operations that can be unsafe to execute has changed.

Note: notice that the operation safety state might change between the time this callback is received and the operation's method on DevicePolicyManager is called, so calls to the latter could still throw a UnsafeStateException even when this method is called with isSafe as true

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the running context as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)` This value cannot be `null`.
`reason`	`int`: the reason an operation could be unsafe. Value is android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager.OPERATION_SAFETY_REASON_NONE, or `DevicePolicyManager.OPERATION_SAFETY_REASON_DRIVING_DISTRACTION`
`isSafe`	`boolean`: whether the operation is safe to be executed.

onPasswordExpiring

Added in API level 11
Deprecated in API level 26

public void onPasswordExpiring (Context context, 
                Intent intent)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
From Build.VERSION_CODES.O, use onPasswordExpiring(android.content.Context, android.content.Intent, android.os.UserHandle) instead.

Called periodically when the device or profile challenge password is about to expire or has expired. It will typically be called at these times: on device boot, once per day before the password expires, and at the time when the password expires.

If the password is not updated by the user, this method will continue to be called once per day until the password is changed or the device admin disables password expiration.

The admin will typically post a notification requesting the user to change their password in response to this call. The actual password expiration time can be obtained by calling DevicePolicyManager.getPasswordExpiration(ComponentName)

The admin should be sure to take down any notifications it posted in response to this call when it receives DeviceAdminReceiver.onPasswordChanged(Context, Intent).

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The running context as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)`. This value cannot be `null`.
`intent`	`Intent`: The received intent as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)`. This value cannot be `null`.

onProfileProvisioningComplete

Added in API level 21

public void onProfileProvisioningComplete (Context context, 
                Intent intent)

Called when provisioning of a managed profile or managed device has completed successfully.

As a prerequisite for the execution of this callback the DeviceAdminReceiver has to declare an intent filter for ACTION_PROFILE_PROVISIONING_COMPLETE. Its component must also be specified in the DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN of the DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_PROVISION_MANAGED_PROFILE intent that started the managed provisioning.

When provisioning of a managed profile is complete, the managed profile is hidden until the profile owner calls DevicePolicyManager.setProfileEnabled(ComponentName admin). Typically a profile owner will enable the profile when it has finished any additional setup such as adding an account by using the AccountManager and calling APIs to bring the profile into the desired state.

Note that provisioning completes without waiting for any server interactions, so the profile owner needs to wait for data to be available if required (e.g. Android device IDs or other data that is set as a result of server interactions).

From version Build.VERSION_CODES.O, when managed provisioning has completed, along with this callback the activity intent DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_PROVISIONING_SUCCESSFUL will also be sent to the same application.

The Intent may include any of the extras specified for ACTION_PROFILE_PROVISIONING_COMPLETE.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The running context as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)`. This value cannot be `null`.
`intent`	`Intent`: The received intent as per `onReceive(Context, Intent)`. This value cannot be `null`.

onReceive

Added in API level 8

public void onReceive (Context context, 
                Intent intent)

onSecurityLogsAvailable

Added in API level 24

public void onSecurityLogsAvailable (Context context, 
                Intent intent)

Called when a new batch of security logs can be retrieved.

If a secondary user or profile is created, this callback won't be received until all users become affiliated again (even if security logging is enabled). See DevicePolicyManager.setAffiliationIds

This callback will be re-triggered if the logs are not retrieved.

This callback is only applicable to device owners and profile owners of organization-owned managed profiles.

This callback is triggered by a foreground broadcast and the app should ensure that any long-running work is not executed synchronously inside the callback.

Parameters

                long receivedTime)

Called when the information about a pending system update is available.

Allows the receiver to be notified when information about a pending system update is available from the system update service. The same pending system update can trigger multiple calls to this method, so it is necessary to examine the incoming parameters for details about the update.

This callback is only applicable to device owners and profile owners.

To get further information about a pending system update (for example, whether or not the update is a security patch), the device owner or profile owner can call DevicePolicyManager.getPendingSystemUpdate.

Added in API level 28

public void onTransferAffiliatedProfileOwnershipComplete (Context context, 
                UserHandle user)

Called on the device owner when the ownership of one of its affiliated profiles is transferred.

This can be used when transferring both device and profile ownership when using work profile on a fully managed device. The process would look like this:

Transfer profile ownership
The device owner gets notified with this callback
Transfer device ownership
Both profile and device ownerships have been transferred

Parameters
