How to change the back button behaviour

Posted by Android Guru on May 5, 2013 in Button | 0 comments

Sometimes, when developing Android applications, there is a need to override the default behaviour of the back button which means assigning another behavior for the ‘Back’ button. Although changing the behaviour of back button is not recommended, but there are some situations where changing the ‘back’ button behavior is mandatory, such as to avoid accidentally finishing or closing the current Activity.

For example, a text editor, should confirm if the user really wants to quit without saving the current changes, or a game, that check if it is the player’s intention to close the current game session.

This post will explain you how to change the current system brightness with a seek bar on Android devices. The application which we are going to develop will work only on real devices, because it is impossible to see the brightness changes on the emulator.

One thing you must know is that Android system brightness value is applied to the screen’s backlight only when the screen turns on. This means that only after a device boots up or awaking the phone from a sleeping state will make the screen as bright as the value defined by the System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS variable. Consequently, changing only that variable won’t be enough to preview the brightness level as the brightness value need to be set for the window.
