Hi Gersprenz, Yes, that sounds like a good idea. But is there any API to monitor whether a admin app loose the admin status? If I am not mistaken, we can check whether an admin app has been enabled as device admin but it is for that app itself. Not sure whether this check can be done for another device admin app.
Any idea, how this can be done?
