Hi
I am trying to do device administration
http://androiddoc.toolib.net/guide/topics/admin/device-admin.html
I am able to perform all the operations discussed there.
For eg
Lock and wipe phone .
But the limitation of Device Administration example is that it can only lock the phone screen.
The user manually has to set password if the device is to be secured.
But this restricts the user to enter password everytime the screen is locked.
I have seen other application like Norton Security. They prompt the user once for the password at the time of installation of the application. The user can unlock screen without entering password. The password is prompted only when the device is lost or user locks the device remotely. At this point of time screen can only be opened by entering the password.
I want to do the same kind of operation . Please suggest how can i set security pattern/password through my application i.e. I ask the user to set a password at the time of installation of my app . This password would be asked only if the user locks the phone remotely .
Or is there any other way to take control of Handset screen till the correct password is filled by user. i.e.
Regards
Gaurav Gupta

I want to write an application it should be protected with a password. Instead of building a new one, Is it possible to use the Android's Pattern lock screen from application with different patterns?i.e Can I modify Lock screen pattern from my application.
or another way i.e During that lock state the only my application should be displayed .Untill I will enter password my application should not exit and user will not be able to use the phone or see the home screen.

There's no support for multi-login at this point in standard Android. There are some custom home screens that sort-of offer this feature but it's not part of AOSP.
