handle device's default screen lock behaviour

Question

I am using device default lock screen in my app for activating and deactivating screen lock. In my application I used a check box which shows that screen lock is activated or not.

Intent intent = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD);
startActivity(intent);

I am receiving it callback in my DeviceAdminReceiver class.

Methods:onPasswordChanged onPasswordFailed onPasswordSucceeded

Now if user selects none or press back none of these methods get called. I am not able to identify is screen is locked or not ? I used OnActivityResult for handling callback in my Activity, it works fine for back pressed(resultcode 0) but gives same results for all other options.

I found this link which tells that it can't be handled externally.

Summary: I wants to handle screen lock options directly from my application.

if we set password quality on that case user can not able to select none password option Might it will help you . We can do this in this way

private ComponentName mDeviceAdmin;
private DevicePolicyManager mDPM;

mDPM.setPasswordQuality(mDeviceAdmin, DevicePolicyManager.PASSWORD_QUALITY_SOMETHING);

Intent intent = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
