* h6. What *
We should expose a function that allows the end developer to check if the underlying device has the developer options enabled.
h6. Why
Requiring the developer options to be enabled is a prerequisite for enabling other functions on the device that can be used to carry out malicious actions.
* h6. How *
Implement a function similar to below that will perform a check using the Android Settings class to check if the device has the developer options enabled.
{code:java}
/**
* Detect if the developer options mode is enabled on the device
*/
public void detectDeveloperOptions() {
int devOptionsEnabled = Settings.Secure.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Global.DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS_ENABLED,
0);
if (devOptionsEnabled > 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
{code}
