Android: Anyway to know if 'Unknown Sources' is checked?

Is there any way to find out if the user has checked the 'Unknown Sources' checkbox in the 'Application settings' menu?

Solution

  • You can use the INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS setting. Something like that :

    boolean canInstallFromOtherSources = Settings.Secure.getInt(Settings.Secure.INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS) == 1;
