Is there any possibility to start another 3rd party app locked down in Kiosk Mode on Android L? It would be great to be able to do such a thing without the use of root access. But if this is not possible without the use of root access, it would also be a solution to me.
I've successfully developed an app which is the device owner on my device and can use the startLockTask()
method to lock itself down into Kiosk Mode.
If you have an app that is already device Owner (as you said), you should be able to call from this app:
Then, from the activity you want to set in Kiosk mode (which should be in
the.package.you.want.to.allow.to.be.in.kiosk.mode
), you can callstartLockTask()
.
