Yup. And to the extent we can figure out ways to better filter the bad apples, without saying we cannot have any apples, the better off we are. Though, in retrospect, a better choice of fruit might be in order... :-) > DeviceAdministrators are un-installable until > they are disabled, and what's to stop an app from doing just that? Apps cannot enable or disable device administrators automatically. The device administrator path involves additional steps and warning prompts, to make it less likely that someone will set one up accidentally. So, for an app locker, it will make some sense why the app might need this capability; for some hacked version of Angry Birds, users will hopefully think twice. Again, it's just one idea for how to filter bad apples without avoiding apples entirely. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
