I want to disable the back button for my android app. All I want to do is, when the user presses the back button, nothing should happen. Basically like return false in JavaScript. The following is the code that I have in my MainActivity that I am using currently:
package com.ws.gostock;
import android.os.Bundle;
import org.apache.cordova.*;
public class MainActivity extends CordovaActivity
{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set by <content src="index.html" /> in config.xml
loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
System.out.println("back pressed");
}
}
Tried to run in debug mode, What happens is, when I press the back button the app closes, and then the code starts to debug. I don't know why.
I fixed the problem.. here is the code that I used:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set by <content src="index.html" /> in config.xml
loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
appView.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener()
{
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
{
if(t == null)
{
t = new Timer();
t.schedule(new reInitializeTimer(), 0, 1*1000);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), " Press Back again to Exit ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else if(backpress >= 1)
{
finish();
}
return true;
}
return onKeyUp(keyCode, event);
}
return onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
});
}
class reInitializeTimer extends TimerTask
{
public void run()
{
backpress++;
if(backpress > 3)
{
backpress = 0;
t.cancel();
t = null;
}
}
}
