Require a password to uninstall/remove application

by

You could do this by:

  • The first time your app is installed, install a separate application/package (“watcher”).
  • The only classes “watcher” contains is a BroadcastReceiver that listens for ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED
  • Add a BroadcastReceiver to your application that also listens for ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED
  • When a intent is broadcast to one of your receivers, check if the other component is still installed. If is isn’t (the user just uninstalled it), prompt for the password – if it’s wrong, reinstall the other component. If it’s right, uninstall yourself.
