    <p>I have the following code that evaluates to true in the emulator (OS 2.3.3) when "applications > settings > development > allow mock locations" is unchecked. I would expect the method to return false but it returns true.</p> <pre><code>public static boolean isMockLocationSet(Context context) { if (Settings.Secure.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION, 0) == 0) { return false; } else { return true; } } </code></pre> <p>The following change returns false, as expected (BTW what is better .equals or .ContentEquals?):</p> <pre><code>public static boolean isMockLocationSet(Context context) { if (Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION).equals("0")) { //.contentEquals("0") return false; } else { return true; } } </code></pre> <p>I prefer the first example because it should allow for cases where a null value may exist, assigning a default of 0 and still allowing execution of the logic without failure (in fact, I suspect this case may exist but have not proved it - e.g. a manufacturer implements Android without all the these settings established (i.e. some like Allow Mock Locations would begin their life as null)...waiting until a user check's the setting before writing a 1 (or 0 when unchecked) to the table).</p> <p>So what is the problem? Well, I get the feeling from bug reports that different devices handle this check differently but not having access to all device types, I am looking for recommendations on how to handle generically / the best. Also, why would the first example not work?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
