I'm developing an application on Android, 4.2 (Jellybean) for a tablet.

When the application runs on emulator, it normally contains the top and bottom ribbon/bar where it shows the battery and signal (in top ribbon) and 'back' icon and etc. (in bottom ribbon).

Question is, how am I going to make the application run in full screen where users are not allowed to navigate out of the application? In other words, I want to make the application full screen and also lock it on my application only.

FYI, I'm using Master detail flow for representing my items to users.

Cheers.

    You can hide the action bar and rest but you can't lock the screen to your app. Simply pressing Home button would exit your app. It's standard Android behaviour – Mohsen Afshin Nov 11 '13 at 13:40
  • @Mohsen jan, what if I disable the button on the tablet too? is that even possible? – Sean Nov 11 '13 at 13:43
  • @Shawm, Not recommended but it may help (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6507063/home-button-disable) – Mohsen Afshin Nov 11 '13 at 13:53

    Sounds like you want to run the app in [kiosk mode](http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=android+kiosk). – Michael Nov 11 '13 at 14:05

    `users are not allowed to navigate out of the application`. not possible unless you are set as the default launcher. – njzk2 Nov 11 '13 at 14:09
  • Thanks to you all for your comments. I'll try to do whatever I can and vote for the closest best answer. – Sean Nov 11 '13 at 14:34
