Android :: Control Back Button

Aug 12, 2009

I want to get the Text data value from Sub-Activity back. And everything is ok. But when the Sub-activity was opened, then I just click back "button" on the phone, it throw an exception error. I found on the android NotePad life-cycle control toturial but It's hard to understand. Can someone help me? This is my code:
public class SBooks extends ListActivity {
private String title_raw;
private SBooksDbAdapter mDbHelper;private static final int ACTIVITY_SEARCH = 0;private static final int SEARCH_ID = Menu.FIRST; @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.sbooks_list);
mDbHelper = new SBooksDbAdapter(this);
mDbHelper.open();
Create Menu Option
@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
boolean result = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add(0, SEARCH_ID, 0, R.string.menu_search);
return result;
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()){
case SEARCH_ID:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SBooksSearch.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, ACTIVITY_SEARCH);
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
switch(requestCode){
case ACTIVITY_SEARCH:
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
title_raw = bundle.getString(SBooksDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE_RAW);
if(title_raw!=null){
Cursor cursor = mDbHelper.searchData(title_raw);
String[] from = new String[]{ SBooksDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID,
SBooksDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE, SBooksDbAdapter.KEY_LYRICS };
int[] to = new int[]{ R.id.id, R.id.title, R.id.lyrics };
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.sbooks_row, cursor, from, to );
setListAdapter(adapter);This is my Sub-Activity:
public class SBooksSearch extends Activity {
private EditText mTextSearch;
private Button searchButton;
private SBooksDbAdapter mDbHelper;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.sbooks_search);
mTextSearch = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text_search);
searchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_search);
searchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(SBooksDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE_RAW, mTextSearch.getText().toString());
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState){
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
@Override
protected void onPause(){
super.onPause();
checkState();
@Override
protected void onResume(){
super.onResume();
}private void checkState() {

Android :: How To Control Activity Flow - Back Button Versus Home Button

Sep 2, 2010

I have 3 activities in my app: Activity1 -> Activity2 -> Activity3. Inside Activity3, if the user presses Back, I would like to return to Activity2. In Activity3's onPause event, I added a finish() statement. That's probably not even necessary, but I wanted to make sure this Activity gets cleaned up. This works fine.
However, while in Activity3, if the user presses Home or starts a new app (through notification bar or some other means), I want both Activity3 and Activity2 to finish. If the user returns to this app, he should resume with Activity1.

I have figured out how to do one or the other, but I can't figure out how to handle both cases, if it's even possible. Can I trap the "Back" button in Activity3 and send a message back to Activity2 telling it not to finish()? It seems like the Activities follow the same lifecycle flow (Pause, Stop) regardless of what you do to send them to the background. Just to answer the question of why I want this behavior, imagine that Activity1 is a login screen, Activity2 is a selection screen, and Activity3 is a content screen. If I press Back from the content page, I want to be able to make a new selection. If I exit via any other means (Home, notification bar), I want the user to be "logged out".

Android :: Video Intent - Control Back Button?

Sep 22, 2009

I'm working on an android application that plays video, by using an intent:tostart = new Intent(Intent. ACTION_ VIEW);tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieurl), "video/*");startActivity(tostart);This works great. However, when you press the back button (on the device), the movieplayer goes back to the beginning of the movie. Only when you press back again, it goes back to my application. While the current behaviour makes some sense, I would like to know if I can change it: Is is possible to directly go back after pressing back?

Motorola Droid X : Back Button Functionality - Cannot Simply Go Back One Menu Using The Back Key

Jul 15, 2010

This is my first android device and i'm loving it... but one thing that irks me is the use, or lack thereof, of the back button.

As I am navigating menus and options in the Settings, I cannot simply go back one menu using the back key. For example, if I go to Settings->Battery Manager->Battery Profile Options and want to go back to the Settings screen, I cannot.

Pushing the back button does nothing and I can only go back to the Settings menu by going Home, then re-entering.

Another quirk regarding the back button is when reading emails. Using a regular email account such as Hotmail, I cannot simply read an email and go back to the inbox using the button.

It makes navigating the phone very tedious.

Android :: WebView.clearHistory() - Don't Want Back Button To Allow User To Go Back Further Than Current Session

Mar 31, 2009

I call WebView.clearHistory(), but I am still able to go back after doing so. I want to reuse a WebView, but I don't want the back button to allow the user to go back further than the current "session" of using the WebView. Anybody know what is the best way to handle this? I thought for sure that clearHistory() would do it.

Android : Back Button - Disable In Buffering Or Should Prevent The Player Tostart If Back Is Clicked

Oct 11, 2010

In my android application i have a video list screen,a buffering screen and a videoplayer screen.
As soon as the user clicks an item from videolist screen ,he is navigated to buffering screen and then to videoplayer.
In the buffering screen i am using Async task and doing the loading process in on background process.

Now my issue is like the user if has selested a video then gets navigated to buffering screen.But if the user clicks back when he is in buffering screen then initially he is getting navigated to videolist screen but immediately after that again he is navigated to videoplayer screen.

What i would like to have is either the back button should be made disable in buffering or should prevent the player tostart if back is clicked.

Motorola Droid X : Back Button - Swipe Left To Right On Maybe The Top Bar It Goes Back

Jul 19, 2010

I'm finding that I'm using the back button A LOT whether browsing the web or just navigating the OS. It kind of sucks because the buttons on the droid x are well, really small, and sometimes hard to press because they are so narrow and flimsy feeling. And depending on how you are holding the phone, it could be a good bit of distance for your thumb to travel or I'm finding myself having to reposition the phone in my hands just to reach the back button, which you seem to need very frequently.

Anyone know of any kind of back 'swipe' implementation ? Like some software you can install that makes it if you swipe left to right on maybe the top bar it goes back?

Instead of trying to grab the notification bar and swiping it down, simply start ABOVE the screen and swipe down. Fast or slow makes no difference.

You can swipe it back up, or simply hit the back button.

Android :: Make Control (focus) Flow From Button To Top Of List View

Oct 4, 2010

My activity has a set of buttons on the left half of the screen and a ListView on the right.Initially the focus is on the first button. When I browse the buttons by pressing DOWN arrow key and then press the RIGHT arrow key, the focus does not go to the topmost list item. Instead, the list item correspondingly on the right gets focused.Is there a way that when I press the RIGHT arrow key, the focus goes to the topmost item on the Listview?

General :: Headset Button Camera Control?

Jun 21, 2012

I have searched XDA, Google and Play Store but can't find out if this has been done successfully before. Ideally what I am looking to do is implement tweaks on the stock camera on the One X to allow control of the camera shutter (and ideally zoom) by using the wired headset button. Is there an app around that does this, or even better a mod for the stock camera I could replicate/add to?

General :: Mobile Data Is Back Under JD Control

Jul 26, 2012

I've noticed that my mobile data is turning off by itself. Initially I thought it was JuiceDefender throwing a wobbly, but then I noticed that its event log was full of comments like "Mobile data is back under JD control" and something about reloading a profile. By watching the notification in the drop down menu I noticed that it was perpetually restarting itself.

I uninstalled it, and tried another app called 2x Battery and the same thing was happening. The data toggle in the setting menu of MIUI was greyed out to show data had been turned off, and 2x Battery stated that data had been toggled by the user.

It seems to be that a third party app is deactivating mobile data. Is there any app out there that can log when an app deactivates data, so I can find out the culprit?

Android :: Android - Override Back Button To Act Like Home Button

Jan 4, 2010

On pressing the back button, I'd like my application to go into the stopped state, rather than the destroyed state. In the Android docs it states: not all activities have the behavior that they are destroyed when BACK is pressed. When the user starts playing music in the Music application and then presses BACK, the application overrides the normal back behavior, preventing the player activity from being destroyed, and continues playing music, even though its activity is no longer visible


How do I replicate this functionality in my own application? I think there must be three possibilities.

1) Capture the back button press (as below) and then call whatever method(s) the home button calls...........

Samsung Moment :: Can Disable Or Remap Voice Control Button?

Feb 6, 2010

But I find myself endlessly annoyed by the placement of the Voice Control button on the side of the phone. This button's placement is absolutely perfect for accidentally pushing it with your thumb or fingers when you're on a call, or when holding the phone in either portrait or landscape mode. I dont use voice control. Even if I did, I'd want it to turn on when I decided to use it. I've searched the Phone Settings; I've searched these forums; I've searched the Android Marketplace. Short of cracking the case and physically removing the button

Android :: Back Vs Home Button

Jul 4, 2010

This has been brought up before, but I was unable to find a satisfying answer. And I know it's a newbish question.

What is the difference between exiting an app with the back button compared to the home button? I am not talking about switching to the home screen, I am talking about a scenario when you want to exit an app. For example, you play a game, you're done - do you press home or back? Or, you're in the Facebook app and you want to exit to the homescreen - what do you press - back or home? At first, I thought both buttons do the same with the difference that home brings you to the homescreen instantly while back goes through your previous steps/pages/screens in the current app and then returns you the homescreen.

But later I noticed that 'reactivating' some apps that were exited via the back button cause them to 'reload' (the loading screen shows up - with certain games, grooveshark's loading screen, etc.) while they switch back instantly when "exited" with the home button.

I gather the way to 'leave' an app you don't plan on using for at least a short while (I am not talking about closing the app, I know it's up to Android, or some task-killer) is the back button, while home is more for task switching/starting new apps while old ones are running.
