ok If this is the case then you can implement the "Back" key in your
code as:


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

or if you are using API 8

@Override
        public void onBackPressed() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                super.onBackPressed();
        }
