sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section
what i am looking for is a dev to write an app for me that would make it so whenever you tried to go to the home screen you needed to enter a password
Before it's closed... enable a lockscreen lock feature in the settings menu.
Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section
it's not a question im asking a developer to write a small app for me and elegos im looking for when i exit the app not turn the device on

As the user above said you can enable the lock screen to have a pattern or pin to unlock it and set it to lock immediately after screen off via power button . So when your done browsing or using your tab you just push the power button to turn the screen off and it will lock automatically. So when you hit the power button to turn the screen on to use the tab again you'll be prompted for a pin/pattern. No need for a special app.
but i never said power button i said HOME button i dont want then to have access to the HOME screen

There is an application called surelock available in market which locks down your system and stops people accessing the home screen and other applications. There is a free trial available.
When your done using the tablet push the power button which will power off the screen and lock the tab. They won't be able to access anything without entering the code/pin.

Lockbot is crap, use widgetlocker.

I think there is an option in the Lockbot settings to turn off the Home screen tap..pls try that...
Right now I have to enter a pin to unlock the phone when I press the power button. Is there any way to slide to unlock, then the enter pin menu comes?
I want this so I can quickly check the time/weather without logging in all the time. Right now i'm greeted by a big ugly pin entry screen every time I press the power button.

I use Widget Locker for my lock screen and I also use extended controls for my toggle bar. Extended controls lets you set an "auto lock" button. This lets me toggle the pin lock on and off. This lets me have a slider screen first and then a pin screen second (but only when I need it).
anything free?

Not that I know of, but Widget Locker is really customizeable and you can do a lot with it
I'm currently running the latest version of widgetlocker on my nexus s 4g and it works like a dream only problem I'm having is if I'm at my home screen & i press the home button, then immediately the sleep button, then the sleep button again immediately to unlock my phone; widget locker doesn't load and i go directly to my home screen and this message box pops up:
"widgetlocker delayed by android due to recent home button press"
anyone know what could be happening? if i press the home button, press my sleep button, wait a few seconds, then press it again to unlock it works fine...
seems like if i try to unlock my phone too soon after i press the home button i get the error..
UPDATE:
i emailed the app developer about this and i just received the response... i followed his instructions and my problem is fixed.. here is his official response:
Android does not allow a background app to come to the foreground within 5 seconds of the Home button being pressed. If you are rooted you can enable WL Settings > Advanced > Root Helper to bypass this. Otherwise just don't press home, off, on, all within 5 seconds.

That, I believe, is being caused by the Android 5 second rule. If you look in the setting for WidgetLocker there is a way around that, but you will be setting WL to be the homescreen and WL will call forth your launcher. There is also a root method too, if you are rooted.

Hello! Do you have any idea to fulfill this option on galaxy s2? This would be easier to turn off the screen without pressing the side button. For instance, if I press and hold the left touchable button I want to switch my screen off, not open the google searcher. Can it be accomplishable?

I'll be glad to press the thanks button(even if it doesn't work) only if I could understand what it meant.
From Google Play:
Description
This background service allows you to light on or off your device by proximity sensor. You just cover and release the sensor by finger, to switch your device's screen on and off.
Please activates the LightLock by "Setting" > "Location & security" > "Select device admin", and remember to inactivates it before uninstall it.
Use it and watch your battery drain fast
Now why would someone want anything like that.Unless your power button stops working.
How could you dont need it if you cant boot the phone without it
Actually you can boot phone without power button if you have 2nd init, plug in charger and wait for blue led and enter bootmenu, select boot, 2nd init.
