Disable home button for staying in current screen for 4.0+

Question

I have to create an app where the user can't go out of it.

The device is fixed in a car and should act as a login and info service. The user in the car should not go out of this app.

So I really have to find a solution to disable the home button.

Can you give me any solutions?

Its not possible to disable home button is android 4.0 for security reasons. — Raghunandan, Aug 29 '13 at 08:31
@Raghunandan home button can not be disable in any android :) — Mohsin Naeem, Aug 29 '13 at 08:33
Apparently there is a way to simulate this, here is an accepted answer for ICS: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12568747/2274885 — M.Bennett, Aug 29 '13 at 08:40
@M.Bennett Do you know if its possible to restart the app and go back to the activity where you pressed the home button? — silvia_aut, Aug 29 '13 at 08:52
You could save a handful of flags in SharedPreferences when entering onPause...but i haven't implemented this before, so just a thought. — M.Bennett, Aug 29 '13 at 08:54
