I'm newbie in android development. I've created an android app which shows the current location, and I need to override the recent apps button in android and add some options, is that possible?

See Question&Answers more detail:osI faced similar problem, so, i needed to know when the user press the recent apps button (menu key button in old versions of android). after a several hours of research i didn't found an event to catch when the home button or the menu button is pressed. i found that it's take a longer time to call onStop() when the user press the home button, so i figure a trick to distinguish between these tow buttons relating on time of response and overriding two methods:
@Override
public void onUserLeaveHint() {
// do stuff
super.onUserLeaveHint();
userLeaveTime = System.currentTimeMillis() ;
isNotPower = true;
}
@Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (isNotPower) {
defStop = System.currentTimeMillis() - userLeaveTime;
if (defStop > 200 ) {
// when the home button pressed
}
if (defStop < 200 ) {
// when the recent apps button pressed
}
}
isNotPower = false;
}
