Install application as system application on rooted device

Question

How would you programmatically get the application to install itself in /system/app so that it is treated as a System application and not a user app?

Answer 1

I don't believe it's possible to programmatically install your app in /system/app folder. You can however, ask for root permissions and execute any commands requiring root privileges using this guide:
