Program home key

[Shay]

Hi

I wish to either the home key - once you click on it or better double click on it, instead of bringing the voice command app, it will run my app
how do I do it / and how to I catch the home key event
I tried If Keycode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_HOME Then but it is going out from my app to the home screen

thanks
Shay

The HOME button cannot be trapped.

and can I change it's default app that attached to it?

 

[Shay]

also what about long back click?

The user can choose a different home screen application. You cannot do it programmatically.

also what about long back click?

You will need to use Activity_KeyPress and Activity_KeyUp with a timer to implement a long back click.

how can I trap the back key if my app is running in background, without doing additional timer that will run every 100ms +-

also can I "program" 3 presses on home button?

b.t.w I did not manage to find a way to replace my home app - Galaxy S2

You cannot trap the back key while your program is in the background.

also can I "program" 3 presses on home button?

You cannot trap the home button.
