How to override the device back button on BB10 Classic - event-handling

Is it possible to override the hardware back button of the BB10 Classic? Pressing the back button on certain screens currently allows users to break the flow of my app.
How can I catch this button press to prevent it from navigating back?

I was able to override the back button by adding a DeviceShortcut with type DeviceShortcuts.BackTap to the qml file for the screen where I want to prevent users from going back.
shortcuts: [
DeviceShortcut {
type: DeviceShortcuts.BackTap
onTriggered: {
// Don't allow the user to navigate back
}
}
]

BottomSheetDialogFragment- Close only on full swipe Kotlin Android

I have a BottomSheetDialogFragment to show list of items inside a fragment. Each list item got a click event mapped. The problem here is, most of the times click action turns into swipe down action and BottomSheetDialogFragment is getting closed. I have no custom events to monitor the events in my code.
dialog?.also {
it.findViewById<View>(R.id.design_bottom_sheet)?.let { bottomSheet ->
bottomSheet.layoutParams?.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheet).state = BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_EXPANDED
BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheet).skipCollapsed = true
}
}
I have to prevent the close event of BottomSheetDialogFragment on click action which turns into swipe down action because of small extra movement added. This could happen and needs to handle since this application will be used by general public.
Can anyone suggest to find the swipe distance on BottomSheetDialogFragment. So that if the value is lower, the dialog will remain open. And if the value if high because of intentional swipe event, the dialog will get dismissed.

How to make my flutter app return the user to the OS home screen?

I'm working on an app that will have a lock screen, but I'm having some issues getting it to behave correctly. Right now I'm using the didChangeAppLifecycleState to navigate to the lock screen when the user suspends/resumes the app. I'm also using the WillPopScope to intercept and deny the back button. The problem with this approach is that pressing the back button and having nothing happen doesn't feel super intuitive. Ideally, I'd like the back button to take the user out of the app and back to their OS home screen when they're on the lock screen. I also want to do this in a way that the user's route history is maintained for when they successfully unlock the app.
Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, or should I just accept that the back button won't do anything on the lock screen?
You can create an identifier in your LockScreen state and check for the identifier in onWillPop and if the user is pressing the back button from the lock screen, exit the app.
String identifier = "lockscreen";
bool onWillPop() {
if (identifier == "lockscreen") {
SystemNavigator.pop();
SystemChannels.platform.invokeMethod('SystemNavigator.pop'); //preferred.*
return true;
}
}
SystemNavigator.pop(): On iOS, calls to this method are ignored because Apple's human interface guidelines state that applications should not exit themselves.

Ionic 2: Allow tabbing through inputs

I cannot seem to find a way to change any keyboard behavior in my app. I have tried to use the ionic-native Keyboard plugin, but nothing seems to change.
import { Keyboard } from '#ionic-native/keyboard';
export class NewRepositioningModal {
constructor(private keyboard: Keyboard) {
// I've tried true as well
this.keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(false);
}
but I never see any bar, and the only button on the keyboard says "Go". I'm trying to enable tabbing between inputs and can't even get the "Next" button to show.

How to hide Open and Save document features in a Document Based application?

Like Safari app, in a macOS Swift project I would like to let users to open more than a window and possibly use tabbed browsing to switch from a window to another. The app starts with a blank window and don't need to save or open documents.
A Document Based application seems perfect to me for handle more than a window but I don't want users have to handle documents. How can I disable or hide, if possible, the Open and Save document features?
Edit: if possible, I would like to disable this popup also:
It is very simple - just remove (delete) the Open, Open Recent..., Save, Save as... menu items from the menu XIB. If you don't want a title bar, simply untick the "Title" checkbox for the window in the XIB, though that makes the window difficult to move.
If you have a title bar, to override "Untitled", you could
override var displayName: String! {
get {
return "Anything you like, even \"\""
}
set {
}
}
however that would still allow access to the save as menu through the chevron. To suppress that, you need an NSWindowDelegate Docs
window(_:shouldPopUpDocumentPathMenu:)
Asks the delegate whether the window displays the title pop-up menu in response to a Command-click or Control-click on its title.
Just add autosavesInPlace at true

GWT Forward Button

I'm having an issue handling the forward button.
Basically, when a user is on a page and has made changes without saving then presses the backwards or forwards button they are presented with a prompt and two options: Leave or Stay.
I have implemented the backwards button fine, and choosing to stay on the page works well using History.newItem(currentToken) - the back button is still clickable.
However with the forwards button, if I use History.newItem(currentToken), it brings this to the front of the history stack and the forward button can no longer be clicked.
History.replaceItem(currentToken) causes the same issue.
How do I handle the cancelling of a forwards action so that I stay on my current page, but the forwards button is still enabled?
#Override
public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent<String> event) {
logger.info("back button pressed: " + event.getValue());
String evenVal = event.getValue();
String token = History.getToken();
AbstractPresenter presenter = sessionKiosk.getCurrentlyShowingPresenter();
if (presenter instanceof NSRCommonWorksheetPresenter && sessionKiosk.isDirty()) {
((NSRCommonWorksheetPresenter)presenter).setHistoryToken(event.getValue());
((NSRCommonWorksheetPresenter)presenter).showUnsavedChangesLeavingPageDialog();
}
else {
handleHistoryEvent(event.getValue());
}
}
The dialog is shown and when I click on stay on page the following is called.
public void stayOnCurrentPage() {
if (eventMap.get(prevPage) != null) {
History.newItem(prevPage, false);
}
}
Update: Basically history.newItem(value) removes the use of the forward button. Is there another way to cancel the event? If I just do nothing, th page stays where i want but the url still updates
None of the 3 options in the else statement seem to work.
Thanks.
You can simply cancel the event without touching History or tokens.
UPDATE:
It appears from your code that you are not intercepting the event (back/forward button), but let it go through, get the new token, and then force a return to the previous state under certain circumstances.
I suggest using Activities and Places pattern where every "place" within your app has a corresponding "activity". Each activity in your app will implement GWT Activity interface which includes mayStop() method. This method is called before a user navigates away from a specific place in your app, giving you an opportunity to warn a user and cancel the navigation if necessary.
In general, this pattern offers a very robust support for the History mechanism, covering many use cases.
If you want to support History mechanism yourself, take a look at PlaceChangeRequestEvent - it allows you to warn a user who tries to navigate away from a place in your app.
