Answer 1

I find out that you can catch keypresses by overriding one of the onKey..(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) functions in the activity, but you can not override the home key for some reasons.

• home key in adroid API
• onkey events
• question about button overriding
• question about home overriding

Answer 2

you can stop functioning of all buttons,,,,

You just override the home and back button of device

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent keyEvent) {

    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_Home) {
        //finish();
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, keyEvent);

}

In your activity class your application will not be interrupted as the buttton default functionality is overrided as you desire...
