2 Android DeviceOwner Sample
3 ===================================
4
5 This sample demonstrates how to use some device owner features. As a device owner, you can configure
6 global settings such as automatic time and timezone. You can mandate a specific launcher by
7 preferred intent handler.

9 Introduction
10 ------------
11
12 In order to set global settings, use [DevicePolicyManager#setGlobalSetting][1] and specify one of
13 the [Settings.Global][2] keys available. Note that you need to specify its value as a String. As
14 most of the keys accept boolean values, you will mostly use "1" for true and "0" for false.
15
16 You can mandate a specific launcher by adding a persistent preferred activity for an IntentFilter
17 with Intent.CATEGORY_HOME category. Call [DevicePolicyManager#addPersistentPreferredActivity][3] to
18 register the activity. You can clear the registration with
19 [clearPackagePersistentPreferredActivities][4].
20
21 As a device owner, you can also use the features available for managed profile owner. See
22 [BasicManagedProfile][5].
