Toddler Lock is somewhat child proof, but certainly not adult-proof (though you'd be amazed at how many emails I used to get from people that couldn't figure out how to exit it). For one thing, it is not possible to intercept the power button, so the user can always shut down the phone, and similarly long press on the home button cannot be intercepted. > Our requirements for the custom application involves :- > - Immediately launches into our application when the phone boots-up. > > - Like a "Game Application" / Toddler Lock all buttons, touch-screen > is controlled by the application. > - Application cannot be exited, or switched to any other application. > Phone functions, GPS functions/Map are all controlled within this > application. > - Call button, call cancel buttons, Volume buttons will be disabled. > - Physical keyboard(if present) will be disabled. > > - Incoming calls, SMS should be rejected, and not allowed to take over > control of the application. > > > > 1.
