Exit button on Android

Processing for Android
1

hello, i wanted to ask here i have a code:

int f = 0;
void setup(){
}

void draw(){
  if(keyPressed){
    f = 255;
    exit();
  }
  fill(f);
  rect(0,0,width, height);
}

I wanted that by pressing “back” the program would paint a square and not exit the program. can you suggest how to do it.

Hi @urlxd ,

Most probably still not possible within processing android mode. There are several reasons for that but to not digging too deep, here’s a short answer…

Back button

Probably too late for this response, but if you want to change the behavior of the back button on an Android device you can try the following code. I include also a code to exit the app by tapping on the middle of the screen. (Just an example.)
Tested with APDE.

import android.app.Activity;

boolean switch_to_rect = false;
int f = 0;
Activity act;

void setup(){
  fullScreen();
  act = getActivity();
}

void draw(){
  background(255);
  fill(f);
  if(switch_to_rect)  rect(width/2, height/2, 100, 100);
  else ellipse(width/2, height/2, 100, 100);
}

void onBackPressed () {
  switch_to_rect =! switch_to_rect;
}

void mousePressed() {
  if (mouseY < height/2 + 50 && mouseY > height / 2 - 50) act.finish();
}
