1 Android BasicManagedProfile Sample
2 ===================================
3
4 This sample demonstrates basic functionalities of Managed Profile API
5 introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop. You can set up this app as a
6 profile owner, and use this app to enable/disable apps in the newly
7 created managed profile. You can also set restrictions to some apps,
8 enable/disable Intent forwarding between profiles, and wipe out all
9 the data associated with the profile.
10
11 Introduction
12 ------------
13
14 As of Android 5.0, DevicePolicyManager introduces new features to
15 support managed profile.
16
17 To set up this app as a profile owner, you need to encrypt your device
18 (you are prompted to do if you haven't). This doesn't wipe out the
19 device, but be aware that you can set up only one managed profile at a
20 time.
21
22 [isProfileOwnerApp][1] can be used to determine if a particular
23 package is registered as the profile owner for the current user. You
24 can initiate the provisioning flow of a managed profile with Intent of
25 [ACTION_PROVISION_MANAGED_PROFILE][2].
26
27 You have to implement a class extending [DeviceAdminReceiver][3] to
28 receive the result of the provisioning flow. Use
29 [setProfileEnabled][4] to enable the newly created profile, and your
30 app is now set up as a profile owner.
