Kiosk mode in Android

by

You can autostart applications on boot by listening to the android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED intent in a BroadcastReceiver and start your Activity from there. In the Activity you can register yourself as the new default homescreen[1] and handle the keys.

I think there are some instances that you can’t handle without modifying the framework (like longpress on Home to show currently active Applications) – I could also be mistaken though.

But for a prototype that could be sufficient.

Have fun tinkering!
