Remarks

Sets which packages may enter lock task mode.

Any packages that share uid with an allowed package will also be allowed to activate lock task. From android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#M removing packages from the lock task package list results in locked tasks belonging to those packages to be finished.

This function can only be called by the device owner, a profile owner of an affiliated user or profile, or the profile owner when no device owner is set or holders of the permission android.Manifest.permission#MANAGE_DEVICE_POLICY_LOCK_TASK. See #isAffiliatedUser. Any package set via this method will be cleared if the user becomes unaffiliated.

Starting from Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, after the lock task policy has been set, PolicyUpdateReceiver#onPolicySetResult(Context, String, Bundle, TargetUser, PolicyUpdateResult) will notify the admin on whether the policy was successfully set or not. This callback will contain: <ul> <li> The policy identifier DevicePolicyIdentifiers#LOCK_TASK_POLICY<li> The TargetUser that this policy relates to <li> The PolicyUpdateResult, which will be PolicyUpdateResult#RESULT_POLICY_SET if the policy was successfully set or the reason the policy failed to be set (e.g. PolicyUpdateResult#RESULT_FAILURE_CONFLICTING_ADMIN_POLICY) </ul> If there has been a change to the policy, PolicyUpdateReceiver#onPolicyChanged(Context, String, Bundle, TargetUser, PolicyUpdateResult) will notify the admin of this change. This callback will contain the same parameters as PolicyUpdateReceiver#onPolicySetResult and the PolicyUpdateResult will contain the reason why the policy changed.

Starting from Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, lock task features and lock task packages are bundled as one policy. A failure to apply one will result in a failure to apply the other.
