220-1102 Lock Task Mode Practice Question
A company deploys a fleet of Android tablets that need to be configured so that only pre-approved apps can be installed, and the Google Play Store must be hidden from users. The tablets are not enrolled in an MDM. Which Android feature can be used to achieve this without third-party software?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates may assume that using a kiosk app is necessary for Lock Task Mode, but the feature is native and can be configured directly without additional software.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a free kiosk app that utilizes Android's Lock Task Mode to pin approved apps and hide the launcher.
None of the provided options achieve the desired configuration without third-party software. Option B mentions using a free kiosk app, which is a third-party software, thus violating the requirement. The correct approach would be to use Android's native Lock Task Mode directly via Developer Options or Android Management APIs, which does not require any third-party app. The other options (A, C, D) do not restrict app installation to pre-approved apps or are reversible.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable Guest Mode and restrict app installation via parental controls.
Why it's wrong here
Guest Mode and parental controls do not restrict app installation to pre-approved apps; parental controls are designed for child safety, not enterprise kiosk use.
- ✓
Use a free kiosk app that utilizes Android's Lock Task Mode to pin approved apps and hide the launcher.
Why this is correct
Using a free kiosk app constitutes third-party software, which contradicts the 'without third-party software' requirement. The underlying Lock Task Mode is native, but the option explicitly suggests using an app, making it incorrect.
- ✗
Boot the device into Safe Mode and disable the Play Store from there.
Why it's wrong here
Safe Mode only disables third-party apps temporarily; it does not allow setting a whitelist of approved apps or hiding the Play Store permanently.
- ✗
Remove the Google account from the device and disable the Play Store via Settings > Apps.
Why it's wrong here
Removing the Google account and disabling the Play Store via Settings does not prevent app installation from other sources (e.g., side-loading) and can be reversed by the user.
