Page Summary
-
This guide explains how to detect a work profile on a device, specifically those managed by the Android Device Policy app.
-
You can detect if your app is currently running inside a work profile by checking if it's the profile owner app for "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc".
-
You can determine if a device has a work profile from the personal profile by querying for the intent "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.ACTION_DETECT_WORK_PROFILE".
-
The method for detecting if a device has a work profile differs slightly depending on whether the device is running Android 11 or later, or a prior version.
This guide illustrates how to detect a work profile on a device. It applies only to work profiles managed by the Android Device policy app.
Detect if the app is running inside a work profile
The following method checks if the calling app is running within a work profile managed by the Android Device Policy app.
Kotlin
fun
isInsideWorkProfile
():
Boolean
{
val
devicePolicyManager
=
getSystemService
(
Context
.
DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE
)
as
DevicePolicyManager
return
devicePolicyManager
.
isProfileOwnerApp
(
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc"
)
}
Java
boolean
isInsideWorkProfile
()
{
DevicePolicyManager
devicePolicyManager
=
(
DevicePolicyManager
)
getSystemService
(
Context
.
DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE
);
return
devicePolicyManager
.
isProfileOwnerApp
(
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc"
);
}
Detect if the device has a work profile
To determine if a device has a work profile managed by the Android Device Policy
app, use the following method. This can be called from any management mode. From
an app in the personal
profile, querying for the intent com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.ACTION_DETECT_WORK_PROFILE
should
resolve as a cross-profile intent if a work profile managed by the Android
Device Policy app exists. This method will only return true
when called from
the personal
profile of a device that has such a work profile.
Android 11 and later:
Kotlin
fun
hasWorkProfile
():
Boolean
{
val
intent
=
Intent
(
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.ACTION_DETECT_WORK_PROFILE"
)
val
activities
=
context
.
packageManager
.
queryIntentActivities
(
intent
,
0
)
return
activities
.
any
{
it
.
isCrossProfileIntentForwarderActivity
}
}
Java
boolean
hasWorkProfile
()
{
Intent
intent
=
new
Intent
(
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.ACTION_DETECT_WORK_PROFILE"
);
List<ResolveInfo>
activities
=
context
.
getPackageManager
().
queryIntentActivities
(
intent
,
0
);
return
activities
.
stream
()
.
anyMatch
(
(
ResolveInfo
resolveInfo
)
-
>
{
return
resolveInfo
.
isCrossProfileIntentForwarderActivity
();
});
}
Prior to Android 11:
Kotlin
fun
hasWorkProfile
():
Boolean
{
val
intent
=
Intent
(
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.ACTION_DETECT_WORK_PROFILE"
)
val
activities
=
context
.
packageManager
.
queryIntentActivities
(
intent
,
0
)
return
activities
.
any
{
it
.
activityInfo
.
name
==
"com.android.internal.app.ForwardIntentToManagedProfile"
}
}
Java
boolean
hasWorkProfile
()
{
Intent
intent
=
new
Intent
(
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.ACTION_DETECT_WORK_PROFILE"
);
List<ResolveInfo>
activities
=
context
.
getPackageManager
().
queryIntentActivities
(
intent
,
0
);
return
activities
.
stream
()
.
anyMatch
(
(
ResolveInfo
resolveInfo
)
-
>
{
return
resolveInfo
.
activityInfo
.
name
.
equals
(
"com.android.internal.app.ForwardIntentToManagedProfile"
);
});
}
