Android listen for backbutton longclick

Question

I am overriding the backbutton with a onBackPressed() function

how do I also detect long clicks on the backbutton? Is there an equivalent of @Override onBackLongPressed() ?

The keycode is KEYCODE_BACK, by the way. As repeated a few times, now. – Rob Jul 15 '11 at 16:14

From Android 2.0, Activity contains the method

public boolean onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)

For exemple, a long key press on the back button would be :

@Override
public boolean onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) 
    {
        // do your stuff here
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyLongPress(keyCode, event);
}

Check "Story 2" here. There's not a shortcut for it like there is onBackPressed().

I think you'll have to use onKeyLongPress and handle the KEYCODE_BACK event yourself.
