Remarks

Specifies if a user is disallowed from modifying applications in Settings or launchers. The following actions will not be allowed when this restriction is enabled: <li>uninstalling apps</li> <li>disabling apps</li> <li>clearing app caches</li> <li>clearing app data</li> <li>force stopping apps</li> <li>clearing app defaults</li>

The default value is false.

<strong>Note:</strong> The user will still be able to perform those actions via other means (such as adb). Third party apps will also be able to uninstall apps via the android.content.pm.PackageInstaller. #DISALLOW_UNINSTALL_APPS or DevicePolicyManager#setUninstallBlocked(ComponentName, String, boolean) should be used to prevent the user from uninstalling apps completely, and DevicePolicyManager#addPersistentPreferredActivity(ComponentName, IntentFilter, ComponentName) to add a default intent handler for a given intent filter.

Holders of the permission android.Manifest.permission#MANAGE_DEVICE_POLICY_APPS_CONTROL can set this restriction using the DevicePolicyManager APIs mentioned below.

Key for user restrictions.

Type: Boolean
