The code in my blog post does work: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-and-other-hard-keys-three-stories.html
<http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-and-other-hard-keys-three-stories.html>If it is not working, I think your problem is elsewhere, not in this code.

Alternatively, FragmentActivity in the new fragment static code also includes this as part of its implementation. You can just subclass from that and override onBackPressed().
