title: Override or disable settings menu
body: <p>I'm making an application that should be used in a store that displays product information. I use an Android tablet to provide the customer with some interactive information. The user should not be able to do anything else with the tablet.</p>
  
  <p>So far i managed to disable the back and home button. The application starts when the booting of the device has finished. He can therefore not start any other application when he restarts the device (I was not able to prevent the user from restarting the device).</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, that the customer can open the settings menu and force kill my application.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to either disable the settings menu (e.g. by protecting it with a password) or to override it by my application?</p>
  
  <p>I do not plan to add my application to the Android market since it should only run in the stores.</p>
