Hi,
You should build your own home activity ( a real one that handles all the
events needed to be handled by a home) then at each key
methods of your activity (onResume, onCreate) you just launch your apllication
using the intent (startActivity(intent)).
If building a home is a too huge work, a home is already available (under
apache licence) in the sdk, to be exact in the sample of
the sdk.
Then, as you did, just set this home as the default one on the devices you want
to manage.
I have the project to make such application for my kid allowing him to use
only some applications (the ones I decided).
Hope it helps.

Hey thanks for the advice. This looks like the way to go. I'll check out
the sample launcher. Are there docs somewhere outlining which methods must
be handled?

I'm not being unfriendly to users. I need to hand out
devices at an event so that people can walk around and
use my app. I don't want them to use other apps on the
phone.
So I put this in my AndroidManifest.xml:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"
/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"
/>
</intent-filter>
Then I get a choice of launchers from the home button. I choose my app
'Always' and everything
is great. The only problem is that if I reboot the device,
my app indeed comes up as the home screen, but it immediately crashes.
Is there some event or Intent I need to handle to do this? I can't figure
out how to debug this, because there are no logcat events, and when
I restart my app it works fine.
Also if there are any other thoughts on how to make a one app device,
I'd love to have suggestions.
Thanks!
Tobiah
