What I'm telling you is that if the system is designed correctly you should not be able to write such an app. I suppose that this is alleviated by the fact that you can simply uninstall the app... > I'm aware that users can uninstall the app. Thank you. Well you're certainly welcome! If this is to be used as a security feature, it seems all your friend has to do is uninstall the 'app protector' app... There are other system logs that probably reveal what you'd need: the window manager logs, for example..
