Q: 

Enable usb debugging (under settings/applications/development) programmatically from within app

Is it possible to enable usb debugging (under settings/applications/development) programatically from within my app?

I was looking at Permission.WRITE_SETTINGS and http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html but couldn't find anything appropriate.

A: 

It's not possible without using your own custom firmware that grants access to the security settings. See thread here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/953c6f0eb0fa9bed#
