Re: [android-developers] Restrict opening Settings application

If you want them from accessing the "Settings" app on their phone, the
one that allows them to uninstall your app, etc..,

You can't do this.., this would be a security hole. In general, you
can't "block" other apps, or interfere with the user experience in
apps you don't write.

Even if it makes sense for your app, imagine some stupid app which
kills your device, opens up tons of threads, etc.., you want to shut
it down / clear the data / uninstall it, but the app stops you from
doing so... bad thing, right :-)...

P.s., if the user knows enough to find how to clear your apps data,
the probability they're doing it "by accident" is almost zero...
