How to handle recent apps navigation button in android studio?

Question

I have a NavigationView in my app. I want to open the NavigationView when resent apps navigation button is clicked. I tried this:

@Override
    protected void onPause () {
        if(!(drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START))){
            drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        } 
        super.onPause();
    }

But it opened recent apps and NavigationView together. Is there any way to open NavigationView when recent app button is clicked?

Answer 1

I tried this

onPause() is not unique to your desired scenario. There are many things that trigger onPause() , including system HOME navigation and configuration changes (eg, screen rotation).

Is there any way to open NavigationView when recent app button is clicked?

No:

• There may not be such a button, such as on the millions of devices that use gesture navigation

• Apps are not informed about when that button gets clicked

• Apps cannot interfere with the operation of that button
