[android-developers] How to disable the installation of device administrator application?

Hi All,

We can create device administrator application which supposedly have escalated privileges to enforce certain policies like password quality, device encryption etc.

See:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin.html

But for example the device is provisioned the first time by the administrator (administrator install the app for user) and the device is passed to the user, it can be easily disabled (Under Settings -> Security -> Device Administrator) or even uninstalled.

Is there any way this can be prevented? Like a password is required to disable the device administrator?

Can this be done? Is there any other way?

Thanks In Advance,
Perumal
