What version are you devices running? If you are on 4.2, you can add another user and disable all built-in applications, effectively limiting access to your own. You can also write a custom launcher that simply restarts your app when you press Home, which is your best bet if you are on a lower version (or a handset that doesn't support multi-user) There are apps that do this with different levels of success on the Play Store, you can try using one of those. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
