Android - See If Home Key Is Pressed

I'm making a game and if the activity is left in any way by the user (back or home key pressed), the activity needs to end the game by posting to a script and ending the activity.

Solution 1:

Ok here is the work around if you insist. Android next version may just close the loophole.

boolean mKeyPress;  
boolean mUserLeaveHint;

@OverridepublicbooleanonKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
    mKeyPress = true;
    returnsuper.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
} 

@OverrideprotectedvoidonUserLeaveHint()
{
    super.onUserLeaveHint();
    mUserLeaveHint = true;
}

@OverrideprotectedvoidonPause()
{
    super.onPause();
    if (!mKeyPress && mUserLeaveHint)
    {
        // HOME_KEY is pressed
    }
}
