[android-developers] Device administration disabling

2011-06-23 Thread garaus
Hi everybody,

Device administration app can't not be uninstalled if it is not
disabled. User can disable Device Administrators from the settings.
When company gives android devices to its employees, company wants to
have a control over devices, their statuses and policies, but user can
easily get rid of that control. Does anybody know how it is possible
to prevent user from disabling Device Administrators?
Thanks.

This is deliberately not supported.  The current device admin API is not for
an admin to own the device, it is for it to share sensitive things it is
protecting with the user's device.
