Answer 3

This is possible, but your application should own the device, by owning the device you can use the DevicePolicyManager.addUserRestriction method, as follows:

DevicePolicyManager devicePolicyManager =
            (DevicePolicyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);

if (devicePolicyManager != null && isDeviceOwnerApp(context)) {
   devicePolicyManager.addUserRestriction(componentName, UserManager.DISALLOW_USB_FILE_TRANSFER);
}
