How to Programmatically Check if Developer Options are enabled or not in Android

 Hello forks, hope you are doing well. In this tutorial we will learn how to programmatically check if developer options in device is on or off. Before going to coding part let's discuss brief about what are developer options and what does it mean.

Developer options is a hidden menu in the Android Settings app that gives users access to advanced features and tools: 

Customize your device: You can adjust animation scales, limit background processes, and more. 

Optimize performance: You can improve app performance, optimize battery life, and more. 

Test and debug apps: You can enable USB debugging, capture bug reports, and more. 

Take more control of your device: You can access settings that are usually hidden from regular users, such as hardware profiling and simulated location settings. 

So it basically available in every android device and generally used by developers for testing and debugging their apps. now let's come to coding part , it's very easy to check if developer options are enabled or not.

Step 1: Create a standalone class DeveloperOptionsChecker.java , this class has a static method to check for developer options 

import android.content.Context;
import android.provider.Settings;
public class DeveloperOptionsChecker {
    public static boolean isDeveloperOptionsEnabled(Context context) {
        int devOptionsStatus = Settings.Global.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Global.DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS_ENABLED, 0);
        return devOptionsStatus != 0;
    }
}

2. That's it now Call this method in your activity:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        boolean isDevOptionsEnabled = DeveloperOptionsChecker.isDeveloperOptionsEnabled(this);
        if (isDevOptionsEnabled) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Developer Options are enabled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            // Do whatever you want to do here e.g. stop app
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Developer Options are not enabled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

Thank you for your time , hope this will be useful for you.
