I want to create a tool that allows to switch to developer mode on Android devices with an Android version less than 4.2. I want to create an apk to activate and deactivate the developer mode. Is this possible? How?

  • Phone -> settings -> Applications -> Development , You have options here to choose between developer and normal user. Why do you want to create a app for it – Abhay Kumar Apr 09 '13 at 08:45

"Developer" mode is a system setting and therefore can only be modified from a system application (i.e. signed with a manufacturer's key). You cannot create an app that would modify this setting.
