Hi,
back button is really tricky one. I don't think that for javafx apps it
should map to how back button works in native android applications. On
Android it moves to previous activity or exits (if the last activity has
been reached) in webkit it goes one page back but this is not that
important now.
In our case we have always only one activity (FXActivity which doesn't
do much just prepares surface for opengl and resends touch or key
presses to glass) We don't spawn new activities.
1. Back button should close dialogs by default.
2. Back button should be handled by the application itself and if not
consumed by application it should go to exit (probably with a default
yes/no dialog)
I have problem to get notification if the back button had been handled
by the javafx application. That's the main problem :(

Hi,
well, the back button is always used to go back one dialog level,
until the start screen has be reached. (Dialogs are canceled,
browsers go to previous website, etc...)
If you press the back button on the start screen of the app, I found
three different strategies to handle the back button:
1. Exit the app on first button press (examples: WhatsApp, Google Maps)
2. Hide the app on first button press and let the system kill the
application, if system memory is exhausted. (examples: FireFox, Chrome)
3. Exit the app on second button press (note that most apps using
this strategy print a notice message, after the first key press,
which is currently not implemented for Ensemble8) (examples: Samsungs
App Store)

Hi Alex,
Samples were changed to support Android. Apparently, hitting escape
twice should exit an application and this behavior was coded into
EnsembleApp. I'm not an Android guy but if this is standard Android
behavior, it should be part of JFX, not the example code.
Anyhow, I'll let Stefan or Johan comment on this and they can enter
a follow on JIRA.
