Help Strip android back to just web browser

[mullsey]

Hello

I want to use a tablet to capture customer feedback and I need to strip the device of all apps and just have the ability to go to one web page. Can anyone please confirm if this is possible and share any help on how to do this?

Instead of stripping a perfectly good set of apps you can "pin" the web browser so it is the only app available for use until you unlock it with your code. howtogeek has a good tutorial on doing that. I'm not sure about the one webpage thing though.

This kiosk app/browser will let you let you restrict web access:

Thanks. Will try VLC, as I use it on my PC. Do wish there was a way to hide most of the built in apps for a simple start screen.

There's no need to keep any apps on your homescreen. If your manufacturer's default launcher won't let you hide or remove everything, install Nova Launcher instead. You could then hide all apps in the app drawer (except the one you want), remove all apps (except the one you want) from the homescreen (and reduce the number of homescreens to 1), and even remove the dock or remove the app drawer from it. And then lock the homescreen.

I'm sure you could do the same with Apex launcher, which as I recall is a little less obvious about how to unlock the homescreen.

It won't stop someone who knows their way around Android from finding other stuff, but it will hide it all from most people.
