Disable the shutdown dialog when the user longpress the power button

Question

I am trying to disallow the user to use the long key press of the power button for security application and I have tried the on long key press method but the dialog still appears is there any way to disable the dialog from appearing?

Just try this

    @Override
    public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
        super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);

            Log.d("Focus debug", "Focus changed !");

        if(!hasFocus) {
            Log.d("Focus debug", "Lost focus !");

            Intent closeDialog = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS);
            sendBroadcast(closeDialog);
        }
    }

It is not possible from the Android API, as mentioned here:

I believe this is not possible. But even if you could do it, isnt it possible to remove battery which would defeat the whole point.

Is it possible to over wrote this behavior by trying to use the power button asba camera shutter? Saw this suggestion in another question – dythe Jul 30 '12 at 10:44
i think only Custom ROM can do this. Since power button is handled in frameworks, the power button event will not reach the app. – nandeesh Jul 30 '12 at 10:48

Just use the disable() method.

$Button1->Shutdown.disable();

How would you get the handle of the power button? – RvdK Jul 30 '12 at 10:33
I don't see this documented anywhere where did you find it? Going to try this when I get home – dythe Jul 30 '12 at 10:34
