Flash Debug Android Back Button Feature

I'm also developing an app for Android phone and I tried to overwrite the closing command of the back-button on the Android Phone. It took me some time to find out this was done with the very simple command event.preventDefault(); .

The complete code would be:

package {

import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

import flash.ui.Keyboard;

public class Main {

public function Main() {

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeys, false, 0, true);

}

private function handleKeys(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.BACK){

event.preventDefault();

//here you can type what you want to happen instead of closing down the app

}

}

}

}

Also to respond to you Eddie... I did not have the same problem as you had, however I could find my application in 'Cached applications' on my Nexus S. This is where I could see it was still running.

To my knowledge it is not possible to overwrite the home-button command. Please correct me if I'm wrong ;-)

Anyways... good luck programming all
