1Android BasicManagedProfile Sample
2===================================
3
4This sample demonstrates basic functionalities of Managed Profile API
5introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop. You can set up this app as a
6profile owner, and use this app to enable/disable apps in the newly
7created managed profile. You can also set restrictions to some apps,
8enable/disable Intent forwarding between profiles, and wipe out all
9the data associated with the profile.

11Introduction
12------------
13
14As of Android 5.0, DevicePolicyManager introduces new features to
15support managed profile.
16
17To set up this app as a profile owner, you need to encrypt your device
18(you are prompted to do if you haven't). This doesn't wipe out the
19device, but be aware that you can set up only one managed profile at a
20time.
21
22[isProfileOwnerApp][1] can be used to determine if a particular
23package is registered as the profile owner for the current user. You
24can initiate the provisioning flow of a managed profile with Intent of
25[ACTION_PROVISION_MANAGED_PROFILE][2].
26
27You have to implement a class extending [DeviceAdminReceiver][3] to
28receive the result of the provisioning flow. Use
29[setProfileEnabled][4] to enable the newly created profile, and your
30app is now set up as a profile owner.
