How to lock down Android tablet to only allow one app to run [closed]

Question

I am looking at locking down several Android Tablets (Samsung Galaxy tab) to allow the user to unlock the device and be sent straight into one application and not allowed to leave. I was wondering if this is possible without creating a custom ROM and if so how? Any help is greatly appreciated

You might try creating a custom launcher and see how far that gets you. I don't think it will be bulletproof but by adding some hacks like having it auto-launch a specific app, it's probably about as far as you can get without a custom ROM. See here for the code of the stock Android launcher:
