How to disable all buttons in Java, Android

Question

I create an app which need to disable all buttons to allow user to leave the application - back button, menu button, camera button, call button, etc, and app should have 1 button for exit. I don't know how to disable all buttons. Tell me please, thank you

You can't and shouldn't. You can specify your activity wants all button-related events and consume them, but it doesn't work for all buttons. — dtech, Oct 01 '11 at 18:30
And do you think the OS should allow an application like that ? — Diego Torres Milano, Oct 01 '11 at 19:40

The Physical buttons? No, you can't disable all of them. Home button needs to work... Android - Is It possible to disable the click of home button

Try this: when you enter the activity, call

getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_KEYGUARD);

and when you exit the activity, call

getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION);
