Programmatically forward-lock an Android APK

Question

Doing a bit of advance research, and am stuck on the point summarized in the title. Namely, is there any way to forward-lock an APK installed programmatically, from another app? I've not come across anything beyond a hint in the following post: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/e39941389d4a4cf8

I can't see anything in the docs for PackageManager about forward- locking, but I readily confess that this is an unfamiliar area of the SDK for me.

Answer 1

If anyone looks at this again... I've since found out that it can't be done in modern versions of the Android SDK. Plus, forward-locking has since been deprecated anyway.
