I am developing security app in android. I want that user can't uninstall and force stop my app so that can't access Application Detail Screen. But so I have used several solutions from StackOverFlow. But I haven't found right solution yet. The solutions are different from Android 4,5 and 6. Please let me know if you have correct solution. Thanks in advance.

The wording of your question is difficult to understand, but it sounds like you want to create a Kiosk app?

Some behaviors of a Kiosk app is what you described. If your app acts like a home screen and you have no other home screen installed it will start on boot and you won't be able to exit it.

The basis for creating a Kiosk app is using

<intent-filter>
 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

If you want some source you can look at Anderweb's ADW Launcher https://github.com/AnderWeb/android_packages_apps_Launcher

  • Thanks for your answer. I think it is useful. But this launcher can be uninstalled. I want to make disable Settings/Apps Manager. Is it possible? – Johan Holland Apr 11 '16 at 20:28
  • My answer is how you do that. Start by having the setup I described. And then override and handle menu/back device button functionality. Note by doing so your app will not be accepted by Google because it goes against their policy. But, of course, this is possible. – portfoliobuilder Apr 15 '16 at 19:32
