How to use back button to go back with XWalkView of CrossWalk, or disable it?


I use below code to go back in webview at first try. But for the low render ability, I used XWalkView replace the WebView.

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        switch (keyCode) {
            case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:

                if (mWebView.canGoBack()) {
                    mWebView.goBack();
                } else {
                    finish();
                    if (MainActivity.mTencent.isSessionValid()) {
                        MainActivity.logout();
                    }
                }
                return true;
        }

    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

When change to XWalkView, I only find this about go back in the XWalkView. But I cannot find an example about to use it. When I not implement the back button envent, the app will exit after I double click the back button.

My question is: 1. How to use go back in the XWalkView, if some code may be more helpful. 2. How can I disable the back button click event, when I not use the go back functon.

Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • After days of digging, I solved this: put this in the activity xwalkview in. Though this works, but the go back sometimes lost some history. So I also want someone give a better answer here.

    for goback:

    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        //WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        XWalkView mXWalkView = (XWalkView) findViewById(R.id.xWalkView);
        if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            switch (keyCode) {
                case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
    
                    if (mXWalkView.getNavigationHistory().canGoBack()) {
                        mXWalkView.getNavigationHistory().navigate(XWalkNavigationHistory.Direction.BACKWARD, 1) ;
                    } else {
                        finish();
                        if (MainActivity.mTencent.isSessionValid()) {
                            MainActivity.logout();
                        }
                    }
                    return true;
            }
    
        }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }
    

    for disable back event you can override either of these method dispatchKeyEvent, onBackPressed, onKeyDown. Refer to this answer for more.

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
    }
