Android feature - use the back button

Postby cliffiv on Wed Jun 16, 2010 1:28 am

Most Android applications I use, if I open a menu and want to close it and go back to where I was, I tap the back button on my Nexus, and it stays in the application and closes the menu, or in the broswer goes back, or in messaging can go to the "all threads" area. In jasuto I find myself constantly exiting the program when going to close the edit/create/any purple button on top.

Would it be possible to "clear" the screen of whatever purple button is currently pressed with the back button? Just go back to the workspace with nothing but nodes.

The back button keeps the state of the scene in place while killing all the audio processing threads. So next time you launch Jasuto you are right where you left off, same situation if you get a voice call.

The home button does exactly the same as the back button, but it leaves all the audio threads running so you can listen to your scene in the background.

I'm going to add an Exit button that will completely exit and unload Jasuto from memory, until then you can use the New button to create new scenes... :)

Ok then! How about some apps2sd action for Froyo then? Is that in the works?

I'd also like this feature. I expect the Back button to be the "end this dialog" button, not the "switch apps" button.

Yeah, after using Android for a bit I can see the problem, the next update will be more Android friendly.
