Constants

ACTION_CAN_INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES_CHANGED

public static final String ACTION_CAN_INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES_CHANGED

Broadcast signalling that the receiving app's permission to interact across profiles has changed. This includes the user, admin, or OEM changing their consent such that the permission for the app to interact across profiles has changed.

This broadcast is not sent when other circumstances result in a change to being able to interact across profiles in practice, such as the profile being turned off or removed, apps being uninstalled, etc. The methods canInteractAcrossProfiles() and canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles() can be used by apps prior to attempting to interact across profiles or attempting to request user consent to interact across profiles.

Apps that have set the android:crossProfile manifest attribute to true can receive this broadcast in manifest broadcast receivers. Otherwise, it can only be received by dynamically-registered broadcast receivers.

Constant Value: "android.content.pm.action.CAN_INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES_CHANGED"

Public methods

canInteractAcrossProfiles

public boolean canInteractAcrossProfiles ()

Returns whether the calling package can interact across profiles.

Specifically, returns whether the following are all true:

getTargetUserProfiles() returns a non-empty list for the calling user.
The user has previously consented to cross-profile communication for the calling package.
The calling package has either been whitelisted by default by the OEM or has been explicitly whitelisted by the admin via DevicePolicyManager.setCrossProfilePackages(ComponentName, Set).

If false, the package's current ability to request user consent to interact across profiles can be checked with canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles(). If true, user consent can be obtained via createRequestInteractAcrossProfilesIntent(). The package can then listen to ACTION_CAN_INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES_CHANGED broadcasts.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the calling package can interact across profiles.

Throws
`SecurityException`	if `mContext.getPackageName()` does not belong to the calling UID.

canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles

public boolean canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles ()

Returns whether the calling package can request to navigate the user to the relevant settings page to request user consent to interact across profiles.

If true, the navigation intent can be obtained via createRequestInteractAcrossProfilesIntent(). The package can then listen to ACTION_CAN_INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES_CHANGED broadcasts.

Specifically, returns whether the following are all true:

UserManager#getEnabledProfileIds(int) returns at least one other profile for the calling user.
The calling app has requested android.Manifest.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES in its manifest.
The calling app is not a profile owner within the profile group of the calling user.

Note that in order for the user to be able to grant the consent, the requesting package must be whitelisted by the admin or the OEM and installed in the other profile. If this is not the case the user will be shown a message explaining why they can't grant the consent.

Note that user consent could already be granted if given a return value of true. The package's current ability to interact across profiles can be checked with canInteractAcrossProfiles().

Returns
`boolean`	true if the calling package can request to interact across profiles.

createRequestInteractAcrossProfilesIntent

public Intent createRequestInteractAcrossProfilesIntent ()

Returns an Intent to open the settings page that allows the user to decide whether the calling app can interact across profiles.

The method canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles() must be returning true.

Note that the user may already have given consent and the app may already be able to interact across profiles, even if canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles() is true. The current ability to interact across profiles is given by canInteractAcrossProfiles().

Returns
`Intent`	an `Intent` to open the settings page that allows the user to decide whether the app can interact across profiles This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`SecurityException`	if `mContext.getPackageName()` does not belong to the calling UID, or `canRequestInteractAcrossProfiles()` is `false`.

getProfileSwitchingIconDrawable

public Drawable getProfileSwitchingIconDrawable (UserHandle userHandle)

Return a drawable that calling app can show to user for the semantic of profile switching -- launching its own activity in specified user profile. For example, it may return a briefcase icon if the given user handle is the managed profile one.

Parameters
`userHandle`	`UserHandle`: The UserHandle of the target profile, must be one of the users returned by `getTargetUserProfiles()`, otherwise a `SecurityException` will be thrown. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`Drawable`	an icon that calling app can show user for the semantic of launching its own activity in specified user profile. This value cannot be `null`.

startMainActivity(ComponentName, UserHandle)

getProfileSwitchingLabel

public CharSequence getProfileSwitchingLabel (UserHandle userHandle)

Return a label that calling app can show to user for the semantic of profile switching -- launching its own activity in specified user profile. For example, it may return "Switch to work" if the given user handle is the managed profile one.

Parameters
`userHandle`	`UserHandle`: The UserHandle of the target profile, must be one of the users returned by `getTargetUserProfiles()`, otherwise a `SecurityException` will be thrown. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`CharSequence`	a label that calling app can show user for the semantic of launching its own activity in the specified user profile. This value cannot be `null`.

See also:

startMainActivity(ComponentName, UserHandle)

getTargetUserProfiles

public List<UserHandle> getTargetUserProfiles ()

Return a list of user profiles that that the caller can use when calling other APIs in this class.

A user profile would be considered as a valid target user profile, provided that:

It gets caller app installed
It is not equal to the calling user
It is in the same profile group of calling user profile
It is enabled

Returns
`List<UserHandle>`	This value cannot be `null`.

UserManager.getUserProfiles()

startActivity

public void startActivity (Intent intent, 
                UserHandle targetUser, 
                Activity callingActivity, 
                Bundle options)

Starts the specified activity of the caller package in the specified profile.

The caller must have the Manifest.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES, android.Manifest.permission#INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS, or android.Manifest.permission#INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL permission. Both the caller and target user profiles must be in the same profile group. The target user must be a valid user returned from getTargetUserProfiles().
Requires Manifest.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES or android.Manifest.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

`callingActivity`	`Activity`: The activity to start the new activity from for the purposes of deciding which task the new activity should belong to. If `null`, the activity will always be started in a new task. This value may be `null`.
`options`	`Bundle`: The activity options or `null`. See `ActivityOptions`. This value may be `null`.

startActivity

public void startActivity (Intent intent, 
                UserHandle targetUser, 
                Activity callingActivity)

Starts the specified activity of the caller package in the specified profile.

Parameters
`intent`	`Intent`: The intent to launch. A component in the caller package must be specified. This value cannot be `null`.
`targetUser`	`UserHandle`: The `UserHandle` of the profile; must be one of the users returned by `getTargetUserProfiles()` if different to the calling user, otherwise a `SecurityException` will be thrown. This value cannot be `null`.
`callingActivity`	`Activity`: The activity to start the new activity from for the purposes of deciding which task the new activity should belong to. If `null`, the activity will always be started in a new task. This value may be `null`.
