So ... um... How do you think they are going to do this? And how do you think that you are going to help this by running a single app?
Concretely, if you wanted to make this modification (which seems extremely naive) you would simply not allow any intents to start other apps, aside from non critical whitelisted apps you choose. You can look at modifying the package manager to deliver intents at appropriate times, and then if you want to institute your policy, you could simply "kill off" the other apps (although the inherent problem with this is that killing apps in Android is already viewed as tacky...) kris On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 5:45 AM, lyrik Huang <[email protected]> wrote: > thanks,but I am afraid that other 3rd party apps may steal or intercepr > the data I am transporting if it is running on the backgroud. > > 在 2012年10月26日星期五UTC+8上午12时39分33秒，Kristopher Micinski写道： >> >> There's certainly no way to do this on vanilla Android.
