Re: [android-developers] Re: app for blocking apps
That seems really short sighted, to assume that you can understand all cases so bluntly. What if someone wanted to write a parental control application?

It sounds like you want to take control away from the user. If the user doesn't want an app launched, they can, you know, just not launch it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

yes, and you can also time bomb it when the application expires. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1223552/how-to-time-bomb-an-android-application Enjoy, On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 11:31 PM, Lance Nanek wrote: > I can think of some legitimate reasons.

[android-developers] Re: app for blocking apps
I can think of some legitimate reasons. What if the user is a parent, for example, and wants to let a very little kid use the phone. They might like to be able to setup an application white list. Without a parental code entered the phone would only run a pre- approved set of apps that the parent has checked out to make sure the kid can't get in trouble with. I think the Xbox has a similar system where a parental code can limit the rating level of games and limit online content and contacts.
