Hello, everybody!
And I wish you a pleasant week ;)
I guess I'll have to talk to the customer, and rediscuss his requirements
and the budget for this.
Guess my initial concerns about this were right: Custom OS is the answer :)
Thank you very much for all you replies, and I hope I can count on
Good luck.
I might note that this list is not for Android source development and
modifications, and you will likely be redirected to the Android source
lists (source.android.com). You can find lists there,
(android-platform, android-porting, etc...) which might help you out
more than this one,
I don't think it can be done!

Hello,
I am rather new to Android, and I need some information and opinions.
I intend to develop an application which would run on some Android phone,

Hi,
Your answer does not sattisfy me :)
Perhaps I din't provide enough information.
1. I can program, I can learn, but I first need to know if what I want is
possible
2. I am a toal Android n00b, so I need number 1 answered first
3. the application is intended to be used for employee tracking
You can't hide it from the application manager. What you are
describing sounds like a spy app, which Android works to make
impossible to write.
In fact all of the things you describe modify the behavior of the
system in some nontrivial way, you cannot cause your app to take
hold of the user's
Unless you bake your own proprietary ROM/image for these phone, it is not
possible.
You can't run a service in the background without the being unable to find
out. It is always discoverable and it can be terminated.
Second of all, you'd need a device with a hell of a battery. The constant
Mihai,
It is possible to achieve what you need to a degree. What I mean is:
if I knew that the phone I am carrying is a snooping device, I would
switch the thing off. No app will be able to connect to the mothership
when the whole platform is down.
Completely agree with Kristopher: what you are
Not to mention that you should probably investigate the legal
implications of tracking all of your employees 24/7 ...

seriously, that sounds like a slashdot headline: Company X found to

First of all: Google's idea about design seems to evade me :)
I didn't see most of your replies.
1. Legal issues
The software (application, service or custom OS) will be used on employee
handsets. I assume our customer can get them to sign some papers for this,
it is not really my problem :)

Yes, which you mostly deal with in custom firmware.

You got your answers by programmers who are familiar with the Android SDK
and platform. What you are requesting is not possible without firmware
modifications (which is out of the scope of this group). And I agree with
Daniel's remarks. The idea itself is a bit flawed. What happens if there is
