Modify Android Market App

Question

Is it possible to modify the Android Market application (on my device)?

I want to add an extra button to the Market with my own custom functionality.

If it is possible, could this be exported to other users via the Market?

Many thanks,

Stephen

Answer 1

I wouldn't say it's impossible because you could pull it off a rooted device, unzip it, and start modifying the dex code at the byte level, but it's really, really hard and you'd never get it approved for the Market. That said, if you did succeed, you could offer it on your own website.

Answer 2

No, this is not possible at all.
