[android-developers] Re: Confirmation with pressing back button
Hi again, Justin
Thanks for that GREAT link. There is no case for spending time
breaking my head to solve problems that only occurs on 1.6 and below.
Thanks a million,

[android-developers] Re: Confirmation with pressing back button
Hi Justin,
Nice to read you again. I think you have miss understood me, probably
cause I did not explain myself right neither: my English is not the
best one exactly...
The method linked by Jason uses onBackPressed() ONLY, so what I meant
is that I cannot use that method if I want to kept backward
compatibility, so I need to use the other one proposed by you that
relies on onKeyDown. Yes, it also uses onBackPressed, but I though it
was clear what i wanted to say just pasting the first lines of code of
each proposed solution.
Anyway It works fine in my Samsung GS2, and also in a 2.1 emulator,
but it does not on a 1.6 emulator. At least not with my code.
Both versions calls to onBackPressed as expected, but while on 2.1+
Android does not close the application after that call, in 1.6 it does
it.
I have also additional problems with this: when I try to get back from
pause on 1.6, the application crashes, but it still works fine in
2.1+.
May be I will nd up using API level 5... is there any place with stats
about SDK usage to know how many market I will lost in that case?
Best regards and thanks again by your help,

That's not true... Set your target API level to something high enough that
you can use the onBackPressed. Did you read the link I gave you? It
specifically addresses this and tells you how to use both depending on the
API level.

[android-developers] Re: Confirmation with pressing back button
Thanks a lot Jason and Justin. My game works fine on 1.6+, at least on
simulator. AFAIK that's API level 4, so I cannot use this method if I
wan to keep that compatibility:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
return;
}
So I will use the keyevent based method (JFTR again):
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getRepeatCount() ==
0) {
// do something on back.
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

[android-developers] Re: Confirmation with pressing back button
Most users press the back button for a reason. They may not take it gracefully when they get patronized "Are you really sure?". It may be easier for you to just take the appropriate action in your game (save the state, suspend the game).
