Kiosk Mode in Android

I have an app in Android destined only for tablets. I would like make it as a Kiosk Mode.

Do you have any suggestion about it?

Thanks in advance

How about a few tutorial links:

Personally the one I did for a client used a custom ROM for airtight security.

However, there are other ways to "lock down" an android device in kiosk mode (somewhat).

Here's a few specialized software solutions in that regard:
