I'm also interested in this. I can't find anything like LOCK_PASSWORD_ENABLED or LOCK_PIN_ENABLED in the docs. I assume Anybody know if it will be in Gingerbread or if its somewhere else that I'm missing?
I've been looking at DevicePolicyManager http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/DevicePolicyManager.html#getPasswordQuality(android.content.ComponentName) It looks like mDPM.getPasswordQuality(null) should work but it doesn't. As far as I can tell getPasswordQuality(admin | null) always returns zero even with the Sample Device Admin enabled. Possible bug?
