Test Device Policy Control (Test DPC) App

Test DPC is an app designed to help EMMs, ISVs, and OEMs to test their applications and platforms in a Android enterprise managed profile (i.e. work profile). It serves as both a sample Device Policy Controller and a testing application to flex the APIs available for Android enterprise. It supports devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop or later.

See the documentation to learn more about Android in the enterprise.

Getting Started

This sample uses the Bazel build system. To build this project, use the "bazel build testdpc" command.

This app can also be found on the Play store.

Provisioning

You can find various kinds of provisioning methods here. Let's take a few of them as an example.

AFW# code provisioning (Device Owner M+)

1. Factory reset your device.
2. Setup Wi-Fi
3. When prompted to sign in, enter afw#testdpc
4. Follow onscreen instructions

• Choose 'Use for work only' for fully managed setup.

QR code provisioning (Device Owner N+ only)

1. Factory reset your device and tap the welcome screen in setup wizard 6 times.
2. On Android O or older, the setup wizard prompts the user to connect to the Internet so the setup wizard can download a QR code reader. Android P and newer devices already have the QR code reader available.
3. Generate a QR code with the content:

    {
    	"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME": "com.afwsamples.testdpc/com.afwsamples.testdpc.DeviceAdminReceiver",
    	"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_SIGNATURE_CHECKSUM": "gJD2YwtOiWJHkSMkkIfLRlj-quNqG1fb6v100QmzM9w=",
    	"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION": "https://testdpc-latest-apk.appspot.com"
    }
   

   or use this pre-made QR code:
   
4. Scan the QR code and follow onscreen instructions

Note

If using this QR code your device is stuck on the configuring screen, it may due to a problem connecting to the appspot.com domain.

In these cases you can use the latest release available on github. You can also upload this version on your own server and use that as your download location.

Replace the link used for PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION with a link to your APK. After that, regenerate the QR code.

ADB command

Device Owner (DO)

• Run the adb command:

  adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.afwsamples.testdpc/.DeviceAdminReceiver
  

Profile Owner - Personal device (PO - BYOD)

• Create a managed profile by launching the “Set up TestDPC” app
• Skip adding an account at the end of the flow

Profile Owner - Corporate-owned device (PO - COPE)

• Create a managed profile by launching the “Set up TestDPC” app

• Skip adding an account at the end of the flow

• Run the adb command:

  adb shell dpm mark-profile-owner-on-organization-owned-device --user 10 com.afwsamples.testdpc/.DeviceAdminReceiver`
  

TestDPC as DM role holder

TestDPC v9.0.5+ can be setup as Device Management Role Holder.

• Running the following adb commands:

  adb shell cmd role set-bypassing-role-qualification true
  adb shell cmd role add-role-holder android.app.role.DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGEMENT com.afwsamples.testdpc
  

  Note: unlike DO/PO, this change is not persisted so TestDPC needs to be marked as role holder again if the device reboots.

Android Studio import

To import this repository in Android Studio, you need to use the Bazel for Android Studio Plugin.

When importing the project you have to select the folder containing the Bazel's BUILD file. When prompted to select a "project view", you can choose the option "Copy external" and choose the scripts/ij.bazelproject available in this repository.

Once Bazel has complete the import operation and the first sync of the project, you can create a "Run Configuration". Select "Bazel Command" as Configuration type and add //:testdpc as "target expression".

You can now run the project from inside Android Studio.

Building with Bazel

The repository includes a build.sh script to build the application. The required setupdesign library is now imported and patched dynamically using the command line utility ed. This needs to be available on the path to successfully build the project.

ANDROID_HOME environment setup

Bazel requires that you set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to the path of your Android SDK. As an example, you can add to your .bashrc on linux:

export ANDROID_HOME=<Path to the Android SDK>
