Hello again @Francois_Charron ,

There are a few ways that you could go about this.

First I want to mention that we offer a launcher and browser app for free that has restrictions like this built in.
You may be able to save your self some time by using the launcher app. It can start on boot and disable different buttons. Launcher is essentially our Kiosk mode for these mobile devices.

However to directly answer your question, you can disable the Navigation bar and the Status bar via our SDK.

Here are some resources you can use to help understand how to do this:
