0.4.7: Back button shouldn't close app when app displays a specific feed or folder

see title

This is the default behaviour of Android and exactly the same behaviour which is used in the Hangout App on which the app-design is based. To disable this feature is against all Android guidelines.

@jancborchardt what do you think would be the best solution?

[David-Development]

Probably the best solution is to open the Sliding Pane on back button press and then close the app.

nope, hangouts slides back to the first screen when pressing back in the contacts overview. thats what i'd expect here too

[jancborchardt]

Hm, when I open Hangouts, go to any conversation and then press the back button, the app closes. That’s some shitty behavior though. The Gmail app for example always shows the list of mails when you press back, and closes the app only when you press back in that list. That’s what we should do too I’d say.

(Btw I can only test on a tablet, but I assume the mobile behavior is similar.)

On my nexus 4 with no active conversation I can slide the contacts overview in and when pressing the back key I get to the blank first screen again. That's what I'd expect.

Okay, thank you for the discussion. I'm going to improve the functionality of the back button in the next release.
