Post by georgeprosser »

Hi. How can I respond to a press of the back button on Android? Couldn't find anything in the docs.

They are simply buttons that trigger love.keypressed(), and can be used with love.keyboard.isDown()

You can check the list of [wiki]KeyConstant[/wiki]s, or the list of [wiki]Scancode[/wiki]s for your options, but either may be different on different types of handhelds, when pressing the back (or any other handheld-specific) button.
