How to catch event of coming back to an activity after hitting back

Question

I have a main screen for my application which then leads to different screens, from each of those hitting back takes you back to the main screen. I want to do some stuff every time a user is "coming back" to the main screen, How do I catch this kind of event???

Use onResume() method in your main activity or Use startActivityForResult method in your activity by overriding the keyDown method in sub activities,it may help you

you cand try this:

    @Override
    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
       if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {
       //your stuff goes here
       }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
       // Do your stuff
       return true;
   }
   return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
