I have a view group that allows users to swipe through 3 WebViews
(layouts) in the same way as the Android home screen. A problem arises when the user presses the back button to go back in the currently displayed WebView's history. What happens is the history will go back for whichever of the 3 views was used last, and not the currently displayed WebView...
Here is my code which comes into effect when the user pressing the back button:
int backpress = 1;
Timer timer = new Timer();
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && WebView[0].canGoBack()) {
WebView[0].goBack();
return true;
}
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && WebView[1].canGoBack()) {
WebView[1].goBack();
return true;
}
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && WebView[2].canGoBack()) {
WebView[2].goBack();
return true;
}
else if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
backpress = (backpress + 1);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), " Press again to exit ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), 2000);
if (backpress>2) {
finish();
}
}
return false;
}
class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
@Override
public void run() {
backpress = 1;
}}
Is there a way to get the current focused WebView so that i can solve this issue?
Refer to this question to get the selected view from a ViewPager
. Override onBackPressed
or onKeydown
in your activity so that you manually handle back presses and call goBack
on the selected view.
