How to check if an activity is locked (app pinning) in android Lollipop


I would like to know whether an activity is locked under app pinning in android 5.0 and above programatically. Please help me in this!

Thanks!


Solution

  • Method to get if the activity in lock task mode.
    activityManager.isInLockTaskMode() API is deprecated in API level 23. Use the method activityManager.getLockTaskModeState() http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html#getLockTaskModeState()

    public boolean isAppInLockTaskMode() {
        ActivityManager activityManager;
    
        activityManager = (ActivityManager)
            this.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            // For SDK version 23 and above.
            return activityManager.getLockTaskModeState()
                != ActivityManager.LOCK_TASK_MODE_NONE; 
        }
    
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            // When SDK version >= 21. This API is deprecated in 23.
            return activityManager.isInLockTaskMode();
        }
    
        return false;
    }
    

    Hope this helps you!
