Android Menu

Rusty · Apr 19, 2011

I have set my activity to full screen, no title and wish the Android menu
(Home, Return, Search...etc.)
to be hidden at all times.
I do not want my user returning to the main Android screen unless they clear my security (authorized user).
Is there a way to make this menu hide permanently? Currently, it hides, but when I touch a button, it re-appears for a few seconds.
Thanks

I think that on any Android device the user can simply press the home or back button to leave the current application paused, and that this is a feature you can't bypass fully as it would otherwise allow malicious applications to completely lock a phone and prevent its use.

Hmmm. Is there any way to secure the "system" when a user is in a controlled application? I need the user to complete the tasks entirely. I further need to only allow access to the Android device with password security. Is this possible?
Thanks,

You can catch the back key (there are several examples for this on the forum). However it is not possible to catch the home key. It will always return the user to the home screen.
