I have a requirement of client. Client has to load android application on android tablet. He doesn't want other applications to be opened. He wants his app should be opened at booting time OR if you restart it.As I am an android developer. Application is ready now.How can I fulfill his requirement.He doesn't want user to interact with another application.He can't go home screen. Is it possible?
Can someone help me with correct steps so I can try on one device.
Thanks,
Prashant
You can use the Kiosk mode of your tablet, this mode is different is you use Android or IOS. (for me Android is better because you can't quit instead of IOS... with the round button)

One Possible solution might be: make your app a default launcher. you can do this by adding this lines to your manifest :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY" />
</intent-filter>
after this you just need to select your app as a default launcher.

Another solution is to get the android source code and compile it and build your own kernel with your favorite apps. some useful links about how to build a kernel:

Of course I know the second way is a little difficult. ;)
