How can I disable Android 4.0 home button?

Question

I can disable home button for Android 2.2, 3.0 etc. But same code does not work for 4.0. Is there any solution to disable home button?

@Override 
public void onAttachedToWindow() 
{ 
    super.onAttachedToWindow(); 
    this.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_KEYGUARD); 
}

Answer 1

Disabling the Home Button , many developers ask about such a feature!! but all I can say: you should absolutely not be disabling the home button in an Android application. This is a major anti-pattern , and will both make your app labelled as spammy and malware-like . Users hate when you disable their home button, and you should really avoid it at all costs. It's not against the law to do this , but your users will get pissed off and you will get a low ratings on google play for your app. Also This technique no longer works in Android 4.0 , for obvious security reasons!!

u can simply add following code to ur android manifest:

   <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />              
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />                 
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />               
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>
