How to disable the Home button

Question

I have gone through all the questions that you guys discussed here at SO but I didn't find a solution for me.

Please clarify whether we can disable the Home button or not?

I've tried the following code, but it doesn't make sense:

if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME) {
    return true;
}

Thanks in advance.

you cant disable the home button. It was possible in earlier versions of android but now its not. — Illegal Argument, Nov 11 '14 at 04:40

@chaitanyal home button cannot be disabled. You should look at the android design guidelines and change your design accordingly — Raghunandan, Nov 11 '14 at 05:15
