Prevent unauthorized person from uninstalling my android app

Question

I am working on anti theft Application.I want only authorized users to uninstall my app.Like, when they try to uninstall my app they must enter a valid password and proceed.I dont wanna block uninstallation of other apps that user have installed..is there a specific way to do that..?

Solution

If you're on an un-rooted device without a custom version of Android the only way that could be possible is making your app a device-admin app:

To uninstall an existing device admin application, users need to first unregister the application as an administrator.
