Is it possible to use Android Things on a tablet? My project needs Android Things, but I can't use Raspberry for it, because it will be expensive.

If not, what do I do to a "normal" Android (Android for tablets/phones) to have only my application, don't have notification bar and don't close my app with the life cycle? (like on Android Things)

  • "It's possible to use Android things on a tablet?" -- if you are the manufacturer of the tablet, presumably this is possible. If you have experience in creating custom ROMs, and there is a custom Android ROM for the tablet, you might be able to create a custom Things ROM. – CommonsWare Sep 16 '17 at 21:47
  • You can also use [COSU](https://developer.android.com/work/cosu.html) mode for "normal" Android (Android for tablets/phones). – Andrii Omelchenko Sep 17 '17 at 19:36

No. Here is the list of supported platforms.

If not, what do I do to the "normal Android".

Develop a kiosk mode app or, if it's not enough for you, customize Android source code.

  • It's possible to have only my app, run the app on boot load and remove the notification bar with kiosk? (remove him, not hide) – felipe.rce Sep 16 '17 at 22:22
  • Here are a [kiosk-mode](https://stackoverflow.com/tags/kiosk-mode/info) tag info and the [questions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android%20kiosk-mode?mode=all) – Onik Sep 16 '17 at 22:23
  • _"It's possible to have only my app, run the app on boot load..."_ Not quite - the system UI app will still be there. Consider a kiosk mode app to be a "pretender" for the only app in the system. If you want full control over the system learn [AOSP](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android-source) – Onik Sep 16 '17 at 22:29
