[android-developers] Re: Test if screenlock is enabled

Aside from Device Admin, there is no API or official way for an app to retrieve for this information. Also, of the top of my head, your query for the pattern won't work on Jellybean (or maybe only works if they configured the pattern before upgrading to Jellybean?).

I need to check if this app has security (screenlocks), enabled. I have found out how to check for pattern_locks like this  

    boolean b = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getInt(

                    getContentResolver(),Settings.Secure.LOCK_PATTERN_ENABLED, 0)==1;

But the other two evades me. I have found a bit about password using the DevicePolicyManager which requires a broadcast receiver and enormous amount of permissions/policies...   

But this is imho. far overreaching of what is needed since I don't need what kind of password or a like is enabled, but simply if a screenlocking method is being used by the phone(user).
