Android onBackPressed/onUserLeaveHint

Question

Just a bit of advice needed really. I have an Activity running with my game in it and when the user presses the Back button it will exit back to the Main Menu using the onBa

Answer 1

onUserLeaveHint() is a protected method as other lifecycle methods of the activity and if you are handling onUserLeaveHint this will take care of the following case

1. When User hits home key
2. When User hits back key
3. When User hits annunciator bar

Basically it hints about the user is trying to leave your activity. That means if you are handling onUserLeaveHint() you don’t need to handle onBackPressed() in your code.
