Is there any way to prevent an Android app from being removed?

Does anyone know if there's a way to either keep the user from uninstalling an app from an Android phone or reinstall it on removal? Before you flame me, please know that I have an app that's intended to be installed on the phone by a parent/employer/etc. and has a password-protected settings screen; the user would need to enter the password to remove the app.

No you simply can't. At least not for the phones that are not rooted. You can take the user to an Uninstall screen, but they would have to click on "Uninstall" to uninstall the app. For more information visit install/uninstall application programmatically.
