S Smee Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 18, 2017 #1 My problem is this, I have a small grandson who loves to watch children's iview programs on my device. This is fine until he stops it and starts calling people on the phone. I am thinking of writing a "kiosk" program that will open the iview program and 'lock' him in to this so he cannot stop the program from running. Is this sort of thing possible? Has anyone done this before? I have seen examples for a Kiosk program and ways to start other programs with intents but will they return the user to the calling program once the user has finished in the external app? Thanks for any guidance
