Answer 3

Did you try onBackPressed() ?

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
       // Do as you please
}

Answer 4

This is my solution it works using Android 2.2

override onBackPressed() ...

public void onBackPressed() {
   // check if you are in the right mode 
   if (getCurrentState() == FORM_STATE_BROWSE ) {
       // ok do default back action
       super.onBackPressed();
   }

   // exit skipping "onBackPressed()"
   return;
}

You must add return in order for this to successfully work on all devices, my Note-3 & HTC still go back if I don't include return!

  @Override
  public void onBackPressed() {
        return;
  }
