Using Kiosk mode on android device(mobile,tablets etc)

I am working on a project that will work on android devices and will convert them in kiosk. So at this moment I am doing R&D on Kiosk mode, but there is very little help on it. But I came across different things. These are using DPM, Using EMM or Using Android Management API

I just wanted to do following things to ship my app to my clients.These objectives are as follow

  1. If client is installing my app, he should follow simple steps (like android permissions) to make my app as default app.

  2. While following simple steps, my app must make android device as Kiosk and should make my app unable to exit by clients user.

  3. My app must be able to clear kiosk mode from device so that client can use his device as simple device

  4. The most important thing is, we are not shipping devices with our app and we may not have any physical access to the client device and client may not be so much technical. So app must do all things

**So from the perspective of these above 4 points , what is best for me please share your knowledge. What will be best for me to go with? Please help me as this is so much confusing... **

Fully managed mode In fully managed mode the entire device is managed and the device needs to be factory reset before setup. To set up a device in fully managed mode you need to use a QR code.

For devices running Android 7.0 or above:

  • Turn on a new or factory-reset device.
  • Tap the same spot on the welcome screen six times to enter QR code mode. Connect to a WiFi network.
  • Scan the QR code.

For devices running Android 6.0:

  • Turn on a new or factory-reset device.
  • Follow the setup wizard and enter your Wi-Fi details.
  • When prompted to sign in, enter afw#setup.
  • Tap Next, and then accept the installation of Android Device Policy.
  • Scan the QR code. Work profile mode In work profile mode corporate apps and data are kept secure in a self-contained work profile while the user keeps control of the rest of the device. To set up a work profile you can either use a QR code or an enrollment link.

Using the enrollment link:

Make the link accessible on the device (send it via email or put it on a website). Open the link. Or using the QR code:

Go to Settings > Google. Tap "Set up your work profile". Scan the QR code. What's next? By now you should have a managed device configured with a basic policy, but there's much more you can do with the Android Management API
