Probably not. Right now, Android largely prohibits applications from locking things down, because Android itself cannot tell if that is for legitimate reasons like yours or because it is malware. There is no question that there *are* legitimate reasons for lockdowns, whether it is parental control or corporate control over corporate-owned devices. However, it will probably take some firmware modifications to craft both the APIs to achieve lockdown and permissions or something to ensure that only legitimate lockdowns are allowed. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
