In the enterprise environment, there are situations in which it is necessary to "lock-down" an Android device through an application or service. If I would like to restrict the use of an Android device to a single application package what is the best way to accomplish this? If I wanted to then switch application packages and then restrict use to the newly started application how should I? I stumbled onto AppLock, which might accomplish what I am looking for, but I have been unable to find much about it. Is there some reference material I can look at?
Thank you very much.

Jon-luke, have look at EHS(Enterprise Home Screen), this replacement launcher will accomplish what your looking for.
At first glance it did not feel like it fit, but Kiosk mode might be what I am looking for. In Kiosk mode can I programmatically switch applications, like through a service trigger, and keep the Home and Back button locked?
Thanks.
Hi,
What kind of application do you gonna use in the Android device, I've installed in a customer EHS 1.6.
They use Telnet from Wavelink and 2 shortcut of Chrome each one call a different link.
