Detect Lock Screen Incorrect Password by user in Android

You can set up a DeviceAdminReceiver that will be notified about failed password attempts, as well as a successful password attempt that occurred after a failed attempt. This is covered in the documentation of Android's device administration APIs.

Note that the user will have to agree to allow your app to serve as a device administrator, via the Settings app, before you will get these events.

This sample project demonstrates listening for those events, plus setting up a password quality policy. The key pieces are:

• the DeviceAdminReceiver implementation
• the device admin metadata, stating what administrative capabilities your app wants
• the receiver's entry in the manifest
• code in the activity to detect if your app is approved to serve as a device administrator and, if not, lead the user to the spot in Settings to make that change

I am doing the same thing on android studio with API level-22. but nothing is happening . Its showing an error- "Installing com.example.sourav.myfirstapp DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.example.sourav.myfirstapp" pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.example.sourav.myfirstapp Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]"

Here is my detail of my project - Admin receiver main activity-

public class AdminReceiver extends DeviceAdminReceiver {

@Override
public void onPasswordChanged(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
    DevicePolicyManager mgr=
            (DevicePolicyManager)ctxt.getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);
    int msgId;

    if (mgr.isActivePasswordSufficient()) {
        msgId=R.string.compliant;
    }
    else msgId = R.string.not_compliant;

    Toast.makeText(ctxt, msgId, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

@Override
public void onPasswordFailed(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
    Toast.makeText(ctxt, "u will never break!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();
    String tag="tag";
    Log.v(tag,"this massage from error" );
}

@Override
public void onPasswordSucceeded(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
    Toast.makeText(ctxt, "good u enterd", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();
    String tag="tag";
    Log.v(tag, "this massage from success");
}
}

manifest-

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 package="com.example.sourav.myfirstapp" >
 


 <application

            <action     android:name="android.app.action.ACTION_PASSWORD_SUCCEEDED"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>
