what is happening when apps are installed in android. I want to know the internal process. how the apps are getting installed..In windows the applications are stored in registry..Like wise what s there in android..how I can block the installation through code..
I think he really just wants to block certain permissions.
Android is not like Windows. Windows has a registry, Android (which is based off Linux) does not, thankfully enough. However, you can do something about permissions. If you root your phone and download an app called "Permissions Denied", you can set some apps to not have certain permissions. You may be able to do this manually, but I do not know how.
I want to block malicious apps...In the front end some apps r genuine.but in back end some apps r collecting users sensitive information like contacts,location..user may not know which app is malicious..I want to block these kind of malicious apps...how can i know one app s doing back end process..another type of malicious apps downloading many other apps without user permission..how can i block these apps
He might have a point. I think I asked about the permissions for ads in free software. The permissions also apply to the ads which shouldn't have them.
I don't mind some ad-supported apps, but whoever approves them needs to vet the ads.
Some have been complaining about a "free Ipad" in the notification bar, I've seen dating (some rather nasty) and religious ads. I don't think these ads should have any permissions besides showing up unless you click on them on purpose.
A bad app requires you to download it to begin with, if you don't install it you don't have to worry about blocking it from being malicious. IMO the best way to combat malicious apps on android is being an educated user
