Question

The question is all I have to say about it. I need to know how to handle the special keypresses like back, menu etc. in android NDK. I am using Cocos2dX so if you could give me a Cocos2dX specif answer that would be great.

Answer 1

In cocos2dx, each CCLayer gets the following methods that can be overriden to add functionality to them:

class CC_DLL CCKeypadDelegate
{
public:
    // The back key clicked
    virtual void keyBackClicked() {}

    // The menu key clicked. only avialble on wophone & android
    virtual void keyMenuClicked() {};
};

CCLayer inherits from CCKeypadDelegate. And each screen can give implementation to these functions.
