1. here clicks a textinput so it focuses and soft keyboard appears 2. user click back key on his phone - soft keyboard retracts (no backkeypressed event caught) 3. textinput still has the focus border around it (why?) and user clicks back key again - application goes in the background for a couple of seconds and closes itself.
protected function textinput1_keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void { trace(event.keyCode); if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.BACK) { trace("back!!"); event.stopImmediatePropagation(); event.preventDefault(); } } <s:TextInput keyDown="textinput1_keyDownHandler(event)" /> -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Android-soft-keyboard-and-back-button-tp14321.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
