Apache Cordova - Detect Android Home button press

I have a project which uses angularjs and I use Cordova to build project to android app. In my project, I add ngCordova and I want to use event when client click home button in device.

I readed http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/ but I did not find anything I need. Does anybody can help me or have any idea I can use?

Solution

  • There is no event in cordova for Home button press. You can detect application resume and pause events:

     // device APIs are available
//  be sure to add the listener in the device ready event
function onDeviceReady() {
    document.addEventListener("pause", onPause, false);
    document.addEventListener("resume", onResume, false);
}

//runs when the app is on background
function onPause() {
    // Handle the pause event
}

//runs when the app resumes
function onResume() {
    // Handle the resume event
}

    More info can be found on the official cordova documentation
