this is my first post and I have written it after scanning for some "likely proposed" solutions for "onBackPressed" and "onKeyDown" problems. I Think they don't fit for my problem.
But enlight me if I am wrong (sorry for that in case).
Ok, here is my simple problem.
I have 2 activites : A : Starter Activity (normal Activity) B : MainMenu Activity (TabActivity)
Splash activity (A) does some init stuff and some checks. If it is satisfied, it simply calls the intent for the main menu Acitvity (B).
Activity B just fills a tabHost for 4 sub activities.
Ok so far it's all fine. But
I want activity B to react on the BACK-button. It should not let the user back to the starter splash screen but instead should send the app to the background (home button pressed).
But activity B never reacts on it. No logcat output is ever written.
This is my code of activity B.
public class StartScreenTab extends TabActivity {
private final static String TAG = StartScreenTab.class.getSimpleName();
private MyTabHostWrapper tabHost;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
initTab();
}
private void initTab() {
Log.i(TAG, "init Main Tabs...");
tabHost = new MyTabHostWrapper(this);
// tab Start
tabHost.addNewTabSpec("tab-start", R.string.app_name,
R.drawable.ic_tab_start, StartScreen.class);
// tab Karte
tabHost.addNewTabSpec("tab-karte", R.string.umkreis_activity_name,
R.drawable.ic_tab_karte, UmkreisActivity.class);
// tab Liste
tabHost.addNewTabSpec("tab-liste", R.string.liste_activity_name,
R.drawable.ic_tab_liste, ListeActivity.class);
// tab Settings
tabHost.addNewTabSpec("tab-prefs", R.string.menu_settings,
R.drawable.ic_tab_preferences, MyPrefsActivity.class);
tabHost.setFontColor("#FFFFFF");
}
@Override
public void onDestroy(){
Log.i(TAG, "onDestroy called.");
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
Log.i(TAG, "KEY 'back' released");
onBackPressed();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyUp(keyCode, event);
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
Log.i(TAG, "KEY 'back' pressed");
onBackPressed();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
Log.i(TAG, "BACK pressed");
moveTaskToBack(true);
return;
}
}
I can see the logcat output from the init and from the onDestroy. But nothing from onKeyDown, onKeyUp and onBackPressed.
Can you help me please? Thx.
