We need to ship Boox devices (specifically Max Lumi 2) to end users with our application preinstalled as "kiosk" (aka. single-use device, dedicated device, etc.). The app must start the moment the tablet boots up and remain the only application that users can interract with. Navigation and status bars should be disabled and there should be no way to exit our application.

There is a feature in Android called Lock Task Mode, which turns Activities into "kiosk" screens. To use this API from within third-party app, that app must be set as "device owner", through either ADB or some remote configuration.

In addition, I know that some OEMs of "specialized" devices also implement their own mechanisms of various complexity, starting with simple SDK calls, all the way to complete EMM solutions with remote activation through web dashboard.

So, my questions are:

  1. Do Boox devices (specifically Max Lumi 2) support "device owner" and "lock task" features? Are there any differences from standard APIs?

  2. Is there any other custom solution available?
