I know this is unlikely, but is it possible to have an app that can take control over anotehr app (i.e. facebook)? I want to be able to make an app that can go to my fb app, look through the messages, and then extract / save them to an external location.


It seems like facebook's api is a bit restrictive and doesn't really outline what i want to do here. Im wondering if there is a hackish way to do this, as its for personal use only

I know with an iPhone it wouldn't be too hard, you could parse an iTunes Backup and get location data for the native and third-party apps. You would have to look at the Android and Facebook API to figure out what you're allowed to do, maybe there's some undefined behavior you can take advantage of.

If you're stalking your gf or something, better off just dumping her if you're worried about her straying. Alternatives could include though accessing location data created by Google, if an account is being used regularly on the device it is possible you're tagged like an animal.
