I am trying to build a simple Parental Control App. I would like to know if it is possible to set the user to enter a password before he can install an app , either from the play store or from running apk files.

Just pointing me in the right direction would be really helpful. Right now i am quiet clueless on where to start.

  • The idea of writing a complete home screen is very interesting. But i dont think i am quiet ready for that yet.Perhaps if i check if the process related to play store has been started and intercept it. Something like a broadcast reciver. Do you think it is possibe. – Deepak Nov 07 '12 at 15:33
