How to control the Android WebView history/back stack?

Question

I am trying to figure out a way to handle the WebView back stack similar to how the Android web browser handles it when the back button is pressed from within my own app\'s WebV

Answer 1

your onKeyDown should look like these

@Override
   public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
  {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && myWebView.canGoBack()) {
        myWebView.goBack();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
   }

here myWebView is declared in the Activity's onCreate
