Urgent: we to need handle press event for back and menu hard-button on android phone

Hello Carlos,
Will we be able to handle press event for back and menu hard-button on android phone in the next daily build?

This is a huge usability issue. Don’t just ignore it as a “simple feature”!!

Ah, I didn’t see there was a Feature Request forum for subscribers. This has to be my #1 complaint. Back (besides Home) is the most basic action, and it desperately needs to be supported. Unless an app is only a single screen, user confusion and annoyance is pretty much guaranteed. [import]uid: 41955 topic_id: 11381 reply_id: 41556[/import]

Submited as a “feature request” bug #6501

Its been a feature request for months and months :confused:

You can handle home with the resume events, but settings and back are impossible to handle :frowning: [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 11381 reply_id: 42199[/import]

You should “touch” Carlos and warn him about this issues. Most of Android’s users need BACK button to go back or return from a scene to previous scene.

This is an user experience issues. You cannot tell your customer: hey, here is an CORONA game, don’t press Back button :)) [import]uid: 9190 topic_id: 11381 reply_id: 42203[/import]

Hope you all are checking out daily build 2011.569! [import]uid: 6787 topic_id: 11381 reply_id: 45249[/import]

Thank you, snarla.

Now I have one more related request: Is there any way to trigger the back and/or menu button press event from the Simulator (i.e., from an option under the Hardware menu item)? It’d be nice to be able to test. [import]uid: 41955 topic_id: 11381 reply_id: 45264[/import]

BTW we’re still ironing out some issues with this… the next daily build hopefully will be better :slight_smile:

Re Simulator support, we will add add a feature request to the queue. [import]uid: 6787 topic_id: 11381 reply_id: 45294[/import]
