[android-developers] Re: How to warn user when back button is pressed to navigate out of my application?

to the previous activity. Some complained that they often navigate out
of the application by pressing back button. I think it would be nice
to customers if they can be warned.

Thanks for your suggestion.

How do think the approach I used?
