I am trying to build an app that locks your phone, and then you can’t open the phone unless you go through the daily exercise, and there will be an emergency contact button as well, but i don’t know if thunkable gives an access to lock scream and i didn’t find it, if it is not there, how can i add a code that enables me to do that? is that possible using Java codes?

Hi deema.mekdad2010oev, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1), the [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8), and our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/get-started) to make the best of your Thunkable Community experience!

This would not be possible on Thunkable, code from an app is usually blocked from accessing things like locking the phone, etc. Those permissions are usually only granted to the operating system itself.
