Re: [android-developers] Re: How to disable home and other buttons so as to persist an app?

So you're trying to be an iPhone? :D Yah, as they said, there is no way to make that work.

Romain, one question on the Home key.. is there any way to detect it so you can close your app when they press the Home key? I would assume the standard lifecycle events still fire, so you can at least pause any game threads, music, etc so as not to consume any resources.

Hi,

Thanks Mr Romain Guy, for the information.

@Mike dg : The requirement is that one app has to be loaded at startup which displays a browser with a specified URL. And one of the requirement is that whatever buttons the user presses or clicks, the browser shouldn't exit. The browser with the specified URL should be the only app that the user has access to.

Since the 'Home' button on being pressed, exists the application, the above requirement can't be implemented.

What are you trying to do? You could see that tons of things could go
wrong with an app that runs on boot and doesn't allow you to get away.
