Ok found the problem.
In the manifest file - the receiver was defined as
<receiver android:name=".LockScreenActivity$MyAdmin"
android:label="@string/sample_device_admin"
android:description="@string/sample_device_admin_description"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN">
<meta-data android:name="android.app.device_admin"
android:resource="@xml/device_admin_sample">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.app.action.DEVICE_ADMIN_ENABLED"/>
</intent-filter>
</meta-data>
</receiver>
Note the meta-data element has intent-filter nested inside it.
changed it to
<meta-data android:name="android.app.device_admin"
android:resource="@xml/device_admin_sample"/>
and now works as expected.
serve me right for downloading code segments from the internet.
