Looks to resolve into Launcher.java:2497 onClick() -> onClickAllAppsButton()
Doesn't appear to have a means to control behavior from a resource overlay. Possibility :
layout: all_apps.xml layout: all_apps_button.xml - textView that might be redefined as enabled=false
but those aren't controllable
Likely Sol: in Utilities.java: Add RESTRICT_ALL_APPS_PROPERTY = launcher_restrict_all_apps create static boolean sRestrictAllAppsAccess = isPropertyEnabled( .. ); using log.tag.PROPERTY_NAME [VERBOSE|SUPPRESS]
set value once in static? add isRestrictAllAppsAccess() to Utilities
Then check the value in Launcher onClick() or onClickAllAppsButton()
