I building a "parent control" app for android, that should stop the machine in prticular hours that the parents set.
Something like- from 22:00 don't work until 7:00. and so on.

There is some versions of app that do it, but parents say it is "too complicated". and we try to suply very simple one.

My problem is, it is very hard to find a way to stop android in unrooted devices.
there is some solutions for it, like putting an "over screen" (some kind of modal screen) on the screen, or at least disconnect data connections and so on...

I want to make a discussion on this task- do you have a create ideas on how to stop the user (simple user, it is not for super hi tec users), from using the device, with out it beeing rooted?

There is a very good reason what you propose isnt easily done. Because trojan/virus/ransomware apps could do it too. As far as I know, the only way to get the level of permissions needed like Knox or another related program, is by signing it with a platform certificate which requires the approval of the device OEMs.
