The developer mode is a very convenient tool when developing for GearVR, when you don't really need to view the app in VR mode. My application monitors the flag indicating whether the HMD is mounted or not, and appropriately pausing or unpausing videos + audio when the HMD is not mounted. However, in developer mode the mounted flag is permanently set to false, because, well, the device is in fact not mounted.
I'd like to detect in my app whether or not the developer mode is active, so that I can ignore the mounted flag whenever I need. Unfortunately I haven't found any way to do that. Is it possible in some way? I wouldn't like to modify my source code to ignore the mounted flag every single time I'm testing in developer mode.
