[Q] How to disable the Pattern and PIN lock using code? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have disabled the pattern/PIN lock using the following code in my lock screen.
KeyguardManager km = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
k1 = km.newKeyguardLock("IN");
k1.disableKeyguard();
Also, i have used the FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD.
It is working fine in my Moto G. But, few devices are showing the default Pattern lock after my lock screen. How can i fix it? What could be the issue?

I am not expert in App Development and Java, but I can suggest you another workaround.
ICS and higher versions allow user to customize lockscreen like Slide, Pattern, Pin etc from Settings.
You can put a button in your app which takes user to Phone Settings where he can select "None" as lockscreen.
Other option is you can contact Developer of "Holo Locker". Holo Locker disables stock lockscreen on most devices. He can help you in this
