How can I block my app from being available for sharing via Bluetooth?

Question

How can I ensure that my Android application is not shareable via Bluetooth?

Using applications which allow users to share files, apps, etc., via Bluetooth (ie, free Bluetooth File Transfer from the Android Market), I have successfully transferred my application from one phone to another.

I've looked into forbidding Bluetooth transfer using Android's permissions, but nothing came even close.

Any ideas?

By default, on non-rooted Android phones all apps can't be shared to other devices, unless some app doesn't implemet this functionality. On the other hand, if phone is rooted, there is no easy way to prevent .apk file from beeing copied to another device.

So, I think you shouldn't bother about this.
