[android-developers] Re: Return to my application when back key is pressed from native dialer
Sorry for not being very clear. Yes, by native homescreen I mean the same as when user presses home button. I don't see a difference in behavior between using ACTION_VIEW AND ACTION_DIAL wrt to the back key press behavior - I still am taken back to native homescreen instead of my app (when I press the back key from native dialer) There difference with using ACTION_VIEW with a number and ACTION_VIEW without a number. The difference being, in the second case I get taken to the native dialer overlayed by the dialog asking me to 'Complete action using'. I'm testing on Nexus one and HTC incredible.

I also don't understand you're introducing a possible issue with using a dialog. AFAIK, you would have to call startActivity(Intent) in the activity, after the dialog has been closed. You also have not indicated what phone and API level you are having this issue on. But perhaps if my assumption is correct, you can get the back button to work correctly if you supply the dialer with a phone number? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Return to my application when back key is pressed from native dialer
Thanks for clearing up some of those questions. I have some hypothesis at this point. First, is your activity calling finish somewhere? That would explain why it's not there when the user presses back in the dialer. Have you tried a breakpoint in the activity's onResume method? Perhaps it is being called after the back button, but is doing something weird. The other is perhaps there's a launch flag in your activity that causes it to be removed from the activity stack once the dialer activity is started. hth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Thanks! That was exactly the problem. I was calling finish in the onPause method On Nov 5, 11:49 am, Frank Weiss fewe...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for clearing up some of those questions.

The behavior of the code you posted should be to return to your activity when the user finished the dialer activity by pressing back.

That's not what I see. The user is taken to native homescreen when he presses the back key.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Return to my application when back key is pressed from native dialer
I'll have to check the code I use. But perhaps the problem is you're not giving a number or try using Intent.ACTION_VIEW instead of Intent.ACTION_DIAL. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Return to my application when back key is pressed from native dialer
That doesn't work. If I change my code to use Intent.ACTION_VIEW, I get taken to the native dialer overlayed by the dialog asking me to 'Complete action using'.

This works for me on the Droid: String phoneUri = tel: + phone.getText(); Intent i = *new* Intent(Intent.*ACTION_VIEW*, Uri.*parse*(phoneUri)); startActivity(i); What phone did you use?

[android-developers] Re: Return to my application when back key is pressed from native dialer
Yes, it works if I add a phone number. However, it doesn't solve my problem of going back to my app when I press the back key. It still goes back to the native homescreen. I have a dialog in my activity, from which the user action is taking them to the native dialer. Is that the reason back doesn't bring them back to my app (since the dialog has already been dismissed)?
