Prevent the back button from quitting android app inside a Cordova plugin

Question

I am creating a Cordova plugin based on the Android Camera2Video example: http://developer.android.com/samples/Camera2Video/index.html

When I press the Android back button within the WebView I can successfully control it's behaviour using the following JavaScript code:

document.addEventListener('backbutton', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    window.alert('back pressed');
}, false);

However when I press the same back button while the native plugin overlay is shown, the JavaScript is ignored and the app quits.

How can I catch the back button event and use it to trigger my plugin hide() method?

Answer 1

In your activity, override the method onBackPressed() . It is called when user taps on Back button.

Answer 2

您可以重写onBackPressed，而是调用插件的方法。
