Get started with the app

As of Knox 3.0, the preferred way to call Knox APIs is to upgrade an Android Work Profile to a Knox Workspace. This tutorial uses Android’s Device Manager to call Knox APIs. See Upgrade Android Work Profile to Knox Workspace for more information.

This tutorial teaches you how to use the Knox SDK to create an app that manages other device applications. This includes disabling certain apps from being used, re-enabling them and retrieving a list of enabled and disabled apps. This app requires the SUPPORT_PERMISSION and KNOX_APP_MGMT permission in the Android Manifest file.

  • Activate your license key.
  • Manage device applications.
