Now i want the code for wiping the data remotely. i.e if the phone is lost, user can wipe phone data remotely. Can anybody help please
You can use Android Device Manager to remotely lock your device, erase everything on it, or change the lock screen passcode. Touch the box next to “Allow remote lock and factory reset.” When the “Activate device administrator” screen appears, read the text and touch Activate to turn on the device administrator.
The device manager, also known as Find My Device, allows users to wipe their Android, as well as remotely lock or ring the device. The device manager, while not automatically installed on the Android platform, is available for download in the Google Play App store.
Remote wipe enables you to remotely erase the data on the mobile device if the device is lost or stolen. If you enable the remote wipe feature on your mobile device, you can permanently delete data stored on your lost or stolen mobile device. You should make sure the erase feature completely erases the data.
This is a start for you:
Are you developing this software yourself or are you on the search for existing remote-wipe solutions?
