im new with andriod and err, im not sure if its really a need for a back button in my activity where there is already a back button on the phone/emulator. I mean since both the back buttons do the same thing which is to go to the previous activity.
So er, can anyone suggest me or give me some advice ?
would greatly appreciate any suggestions. thanks
You have the standard back button so I would say there is no need to render your own on screen. Android users are used to clicking the hardware – or at least system rendered – Back button so they won’t go looking for one on screen.
The menu button is being replaced by the Action Bar but the back button isn’t going anywhere. This is because of the way Android allows one application to launch Activities from another via Intents and so the user always has a standard way to go back to the previous Activity.
