How can I build an app to block other apps on Android?
Asked by

I'm looking to create an Android app that can block access to other apps by overlaying a screen so users can't use them for a certain time. I have no prior experience in Android development or programming in general, so I'm seeking guidance. I'm considering using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, but I'm unsure if that's the best choice because my teacher has a low opinion of it. I'd appreciate any additional tips you might have, but please don't suggest using AI tools. Thanks!

Could you clarify what you mean by "block other apps"? Are you looking to just suppress notifications, or do you want to completely hide them? The ability to ask clear questions is super helpful for getting advice as a new programmer!

FocusMasterX: It's meant to be a productivity app. I want to overlay a screen so users can't access the app during specific times. Opal and AppBlock are examples of apps doing this.
