I’m looking for some help from developers who are know android development. We have a client who wants to use an Android tablet as a means of collecting data when someone walks into their office. The problem is that they don’t want any of the background functions or access to the net on the device (it’s there to log people in so it should not move from that function with out some other credentials to “unlock” the device.)
With apple I know you can lock the screen on to a page/app but not sure about android? Can’t find any thing online that would tell me it can be done on android.
With Android you can replace the launcher (home screen) app, and if that app doesn’t give you access to launching other things, then you cannot do other things. The first time you press the home key after installing another launcher candidate, Android asks you which home screen application to run (the original or your new one) and allows you to set your answer as the default, eliminating the question in the future.
