Thanks mark, Have one more thought though,
Correct me if I am wrong-- I believe PackageManager is responsible for "installation and Uninstallation of apps". And in the android source code , there is PackageManagerService.java, which has the actual code for installation and uninstallation. I am thinking, to comment that "installPackage(---)" method , to block the installation for now, just to test, the installation disabling feature. And to disable the installation based on certain conditions, I am thinking I will establish some path from my high level java class, which will send some parameters to PackageManagerService (donno how to achive this), and installPackage(--) method will check this parameter, and in will continue installation , or it will return something , which I will catch in high level java class and display a meaning full message to the user. is it possible this way? But for that I need to understand "how the installation happens, the sequence of steps being called". Thanks you.
