What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. reimplement QWidget::keyPressEvent 2. try to catch KEYCODE_BACK pressing

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? KEYCODE_BACK should be caught. The event goes to android framework.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? latest sources from git. OS: Snow Leopard

Please provide any additional information below. I noticed that there is a line in QTDIR/src/android/java/src/eu/licentia/necessitas/industrius/QtActivity.java ... public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) .... if (keyCode != KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
QtApplication.keyDown(keyCode, c, event.getMetaState());
return true; ...

Looks like this code breaks propagation KEYCODE_BACK to Qt. I would test this by myself, but I can't find a place on a device where QtActivity.java is located.

Thanks

I found out that the android back button triggers a close event in Qt. So all you have to do to catch this to implement your own handler.

I did this by implementing a class 'MyGraphicsView' derived from QGraphicsView where I re-implement the following method:

void MyGraphicsView::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *pEvent)

that's what I did after posting the issue.

i also tried to re-implement 'closeEvent' but my app still exits when i hit the back key. this is my code: void MobileApp::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event){ //do somthing }

(mobile app exetends QDialog) any idea?

I try the same at doesnt work
