title: Locking down an android application. Ideas?
body: <p>I'm toying around with an idea for an app that, in theory, a parent would install on a phone he/she gives to his/her child. So, main problem is, how would I be able to prevent the child from just uninstalling the application? Any ideas on how to solve this? I'm really doubtful something like this exists but thought asking here was a good way to find out if there were any tricks.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>If there's no way to prevent this from happening; how about this: upon uninstall, do something (e.g. send an email to a previously configured email address). This could serve as a disincentive for the child to uninstall the app as the parent could find out about it. Of course, an industrious miscreant would just turn on airplane mode and then uninstall but I'm just fishing for ideas at this point.</p>
