Maybe this? I'd assume system apps would have a unique installer package name. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getInstallerPackageName(java.lang.String) Or, query the Market API and search for 1* comments that match a pattern of "I don't want this POS and can't uninstall" (see Amazon MP3, Twitter, and Facebook for good examples). =P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
