I have my app registered as device administrator, with the appropriate lock screen permissions. I can access the method to lock the device, but cannot disable lockscreen.
Is there an API method available that will disable lock?

In that case, what are the alternatives? I wanted a custom lock screen or just customize the current lock screen with some text and call functionality. Many were disabling it, and launching their activities as a lock screen with Home and Back buttons disabled. How else can we implement this? – ashwin mahajan Feb 12 '18 at 08:39
