The Device Administration API for Android 2.2 and later allows applications to enforce security policies by requiring a password or encryption, and to lock or wipe the device programmatically.

Android 2.2 introduces support for enterprise applications by offering the Android Device Administration API.

Is it possible to prevent a user from changing input method/keyboards? I know it's not allowed by default but maybe with some security/IT device administration feature it is possible? I've been looking around but couldn't find a definitive answer.
