I have an app which just has a service in it. So it doesnt have an activity. I want to call the wipeData() api from it. I have followed an example which sets up the DevicePolicyManager from inside the onCreate of an Activity class. That works fine.
Q1: My example only works if the mDeviceAdminSample is created as below. If I try to create the mDeviceAdminSample using new ComponentName((String pkg, String cls) then I dont get a popup window asking the user to confirm the new policies. Do I have to create the ComponentName using a context and a class? mDeviceAdminSample = new ComponentName(this, DeviceAdminSample.class); ... intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN, mDeviceAdminSample); Q2: If I setup the device policy from one app, can I use those policies from another app? The problem seems to me to be the... mDeviceAdminSample = new ComponentName(this, DeviceAdminSample.class); If it has to be created using a context then how can you use it from another app? Q3: Basically I have an app with just a service and I dont know how I can call wipeData from it. I dont know how to create the mDeviceAdminSample to hook into policies that have already been created.
