hi,
i want to block mobile apps with my android app. i didn't find any way yet. most to the people saying that this can only be done if the device is rooted. i want to know is there any other way of doing this. Thanks!
 
No, Android runs apps in a sandbox, meaning they cannot affect other running apps. As such, your app cannot prevent another app from running.

is there any way to get superuser permission? or any way to disable or just hide the app so user can't able to open app
 
What do you mean by "control"? Interfering with the operation of another running app is not only difficult (because of the sandboxing), and would certainly require root, but also violates the Play Store rules.

control means enable or disable app for using it.
 
If you are suggesting that you want to write an app can permit or deny other apps from opening and running, what leads you to believe that someone else won't develop an app to control YOUR app and render it useless?
