re: Palm dedicated to one application
Hi, That's not so difficult. Just make your application the default launcher. You can even set your app the default application after a soft reset: Here is a complete sample: http://www.handheld-basic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=604#604 Regards, JPA The HB++ team http://www.handheld-basic.com -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Palm dedicated to one application
We have customer who wants his palm to only run our palm app when he turns on his palm and does not want access to any other feature. Is is possible? Thanks, Jerry -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: Palm dedicated to one application
I would assume that it is, there are 3rd party app launchers. They simply take over for the default launcher in some way. Im guessing you can make your app take over the device in the same way. I dont know how to do this, but im sure its possible. -- Scott Erickson Software Engineer, FB-4, Inc.

RE: Palm dedicated to one application
It would be possible if you ignore appStopEvents. Then, the only way out would be a soft reset. You could then respond to the just reset launch code by launching your app. Then the only way out would be a warm or hard reset. If you assigned your app to all the hard buttons, the home button, and the favorite button (simply by setting the system prefs), you could then prevent the user from leaving the prefs app on a warm reset. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-449464- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Martinez Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:45 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Palm dedicated to one application We have customer who wants his palm to only run our palm app when he turns on his palm and does not want access to any other feature.

RE: Palm dedicated to one application
On second thought, ignoring appStopEvents would not be a good idea, because then there is no way to access important things like the prefs app. Simply assigning your app to the home, favorite and hard buttons should be good enough. Then, provide the user with a method of accessing the prefs app (unless you don't want them to do that either). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-449469- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan King Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 2:07 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: RE: Palm dedicated to one application It would be possible if you ignore appStopEvents.

Re: Palm dedicated to one application
From: Jerry Martinez [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have customer who wants his palm to only run our palm app when he turns on his palm and does not want access to any other feature. Is is possible? If the client has the budget one alternative is to create a special ROM image that only includes your app and drops the standard Palm OS apps. This generally isn't something you'd do for one person but I mention it because it's an often-overlooked option for the distribution of custom-purpose units within an enterprise or as prizes or advertising hand-outs. That takes a little preparation, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was - of course this requires devices that have flashable ROM.
