Disable backbutton click on edit text android

Question

I am having an edit text, and while the user is entering data in it, i want the back button to be disabled. Please help if anyone has done this before.

Did you try to override onBackPressed method? – ACengiz Apr 26 '13 at 19:21 — ACengiz, Apr 26 '13 at 19:21

You can override the onBackPressed() method of your activity.

But please think about this twice. Normally this is nothing the user would expect.

Hi thanks for the reply, but i want to stop back button only when the edittext is on, rest of the time, i want the user to use the back button, inside edittext can we do this? – bharath Apr 26 '13 at 19:56

Try using this link: Disable back button in android

   @Override
       public void onBackPressed() {
   }

Requires API Level 5 or higher.

This is a duplicate question and this answer seems to do what you want.
