Menu
I was wondering if anyone had a relatively simple solution for us.
We created an app to be used by our clients on android devices that we give them.
We would like the client to only be able to use our app and have limited access to everything else (i.e. settings, email etc.) What is the best way to achieve this without using 3rd party apps.
Thank you in advance!

Go to Settings then open Security and Lock screen. Scroll to the very bottom of that page to find the Screen Pinning feature. Turn that feature on and also enable the Pin asking feature below it.
The most popular and easy to use app that lets you lock individual apps is simply called AppLock, and can be downloaded for free from Google Play (see the source link at the end of this article). Once you download, install, and open App Lock, you'll be prompted to create a password.
Go to Settings and select “Biometrics and security.” Tap on “Secure Folder,” then “Lock type.” Choose between Pattern, PIN, Password or a biometric option like fingerprint or iris, and create that password. Go to your app drawer and tap “Secure Folder.” Tap “Add apps.”
This may not help but the L preview has a task locking feature included that may be of some insight, I'm not aware of how it functions as yet
Task locking
The L Developer Preview introduces a new task locking API that lets you temporarily restrict users from leaving your app or being interrupted by notifications. This could be used, for example, if you are developing an education app to support high stakes assessment requirements on Android. Once your app activates this mode, users will not be able to see notifications, access other apps, or return to the Home screen, until your app exits the mode.
