To allow only one app on Android, use the 'Screen Pinning' feature. Go to 'Settings' > 'Security' > 'Screen Pinning,' and enable it. Open your chosen app, then tap the 'Overview' button (square icon) and swipe up to pin the app. This locks the device to the selected app until you unpin it by pressing the 'Back' and 'Overview' buttons simultaneously. For more control, consider using third-party apps like SureLock to restrict access further.
