Android - Confirm app exit with toast

Question

I\'m new to Android development and I want it so when the user presses the back button on the main activity, a toast message appears with a \"confirm exit by pressing the ba

Answer 1

I would just save the time of the backpress and then compare the time of the latest press to the new press.

long lastPress;
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    if(currentTime - lastPress > 5000){
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Press back again to exit", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        lastPress = currentTime;
    }else{
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

You can also dismiss the toast when the app the back press is confirmed (cred @ToolmakerSteve):

long lastPress;
Toast backpressToast;
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    if(currentTime - lastPress > 5000){
        backpressToast = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Press back again to exit", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
        backpressToast.show();
        lastPress = currentTime;
    } else {
        if (backpressToast != null) backpressToast.cancel();
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}
