Question

I am having two activities A and B. when i click the button in A that will shows B. when i click the Button in B it backs to A. i had set the overridePendingTransition method after the finish() method. it works properly. but in case the current Activity is B. on that time i click the default back button in the device. it shows the right to left transition to show the Activity A.

How i can listen that Default back key on device?

EDIT:

Log.v(TAG, "back pressed");
finish();
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_top_to_bottom, R.anim.hold);

Answer 1

@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);
}
