in my MainActivity, which extends from AppCompatActivity, I want to override the onBackPressed method like so:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d("MainActivity","onBackPressed");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"onBackPressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
but onBackPressed does not get called. How ever if I do not override onBackPressed, the application closes, when I press the backbutton and if I do override it it doesn't.
The rest of my activity looks like this:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
private Drawer drawer;
private FloatingActionButton fab_test;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
fab_test = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab_test);
fab_test.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"FAB Test pressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
buildDrawer();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragmentContainer,page).commit();
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d("MainActivity","onBackPressed");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"onBackPressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
return true;
}
}
EDIT: I'm talking about the hardware-backbutton(not the actionbar one)
This question is already answered, but I feel to clear something here in this topic. Most comments and answeres point out to use super.onBackPressed()
and that this is the cause of the not working method onBackPressed()
. But that is not correct and important to let other beginners know. The method onBackPressed()
does not need to use super.onBackPressed()
. onBackPressed()
also works if somebody, for example, comment super.onBackPressed()
out.
As the questionier has written, he won´t use super.onBackPressed()
because it will close the activity. So, the cause of this why it isn´t working, could be seperated into three possible causes:
Usually, the toast works by passing the correct context. In the case of questioner, simply passing this
.
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d("MainActivity","onBackPressed");
Toast.makeText(this,"onBackPressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
For the Log, simply set the correct filter on logcat.
I don´t care if somebody give downvotes now, but it must be clear for other beginners, that super.onBackPressed()
must not be used.
Anyway, the use of onKeyDown()
also is a solution.
