Apps HOw do you make your application replace the home screen?

[technoViking]

Hi,

I have an application that is going to be put on an android tablet the thing is though the application when it starts up should take up the whole screen and it should automatically start up. The user should not be able to select other applications, my application should just start up. Any ideas how to do this?

Currently on the emulator it automatically starts up but on the hardware itself the user can select other applications. I want this application to basically take over the home screen.

Thanks

Make sure the intents in the manifest are different than other applications

The behaviour your seeing on the emulator is just Eclipse sending command the emulator to install and start your app.

AFAIK, you can't do this on a tablet without rooting it and installing custom firmware, because you'd need to replace files in /system.
