I am trying to develop a graphical application for an infant/toddler to use that will disable all screen menu controls and require some other button presses to interrupt the activity. Is this possible? I would like for her to be free to touch any part of the screen and not have it bring up a menu or go back up the activity stack. It's a simple kind of finger painting app but there is the problem of screen real estate needing to be restrictive.

Thanks for your time, BBB

    I think the only few buttons that you can't disable, will be: 1. Home 2. Power The rest of all can be intercepted from Activity's events and disabling them. – xandy May 24 '12 at 04:09

    Below Android 4.0.3. you can disable all hard button except `Power` http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10025660/override-home-and-back-button-is-case-a-boolean-is-true/10025904#10025904 – Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh May 24 '12 at 04:11
  • Nice. But what about the status bar, can it be removed? I can see that it can be hidden but touching the screen in that area brings it back. – bittramp May 24 '12 at 16:59
  • Yes that can also be removed: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5431365/how-to-hide-status-bar-in-android – Daniel Ryan Jul 04 '12 at 02:36
