handle android keypress for button of device

Hi

I want to handle events of android devices buttons (back,home,menu,search).

How can I replace default action of those button with my own functions?

Thanks.

Also. I have an unanswered problem on this topic:

  • I know this is an old question. But I was looking for an answer and found that you can listen to window events:
    Titanium.UI.Window-object

    You can listen to android:back as well as android:search. Have a look at the UI.Window link.

    cheers,
    Dan

  • appcelerator support team said me on helpdesk that they don't currently have a method for doing that but they can look into adding it to the API. It won't make the 1.4.0 release most likely though.

  • Is there a way to handle key press (right/left/up/down) now in android apps?
