back_button how to disable on Android

Question

Hi, I'm developing QML application It seems that "back button" is handled by ArcGIS Runtime for Android As soon as I add qml runtime to my pro file: include(/opt/arcgis/runtime_sdk/qt100.2.1/sdk/ideintegration/arcgis_runtime_qml.pri)‍ I have no control over back button on android. I'm using V-Play framework which is handling back button, but when I create app with arcgis_runtime_qml.pri back button closes the app immediatelly. How to disable back button handling by ArcGIS ? Best Regards Marek

Ok, thanks. If this is a high priority issue for you, I suggest you contact Esri Support or your local Esri Distributor, as they are equipped to troubleshoot these types of things. They can help diagnose the issue, and if applicable, log a bug and hopefully suggest a workaround. This is your best bet to finding a resolution. The GeoNet community will do its best to help make suggestions, but setting up different test environments and troubleshooting high priority issues is best addressed by Esri Support/Distributor.

Hi Lucas

This is crucial for me, my application is car navigation it cant just shut down when I press back button.

This Keys.onReleased does not work for me, maybe there is some interaction with V-Play framework. I will prepare minimal working example to demonstrate the problem

Best,

Marek

Thanks Marek. I've always been under the impression that handling the back button was up to the user, but perhaps I am mistaken. Usually I have added something like the following to perform some behavior when back is pressed: Keys.onReleased: { if (event.key === Qt.Key_Back) { // do something } }‍‍‍‍‍
