Hi, Actually the concept is to make a separate sandbox where the apps can run under certain custom restrictions. For example I want two apps to run in a same container and can share data internally but not with other apps i.e. a container app which can run several apps that can share data with each other but not outside the container.
Any ideas on this? I have seen VMWare doing some similar thing on android. Any help would be appreciable.
