Question

Is it possible to check if on back keypressed is checked in android within the onbackeypressed method ?

Answer 1

You can put a condition in the method you override. To get the normal behaviour, you can use super.onBackPressed(). So let’s say you have a Boolean called ‘condition’, and you only want to the button to do something if this Boolean is true, you can use this code for that.

@Override
public void onBackPressed(){
    if(condition){
        super.onBackPressed(); //Normal behaviour
    } else {
        Log.d("Debug message", "Condition was not met"); //Other behaviour, if you want
    }
}

If your check is more complicated, you may want to consider putting it in a method that returns a Boolean instead.
