Exit app when back pressed

sorry for this again button i ant figure out the correct placement here. i just want it on this class only to exit the app when back pressed but i cant figure out what exactly to write or where to write it. thanks for the help. code of class below.
package com.example.whattodo2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
public class Title extends Activity {
Button reset, rts;
ImageView title;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_title);
reset = (Button) findViewById(R.id.reset);
reset.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
double rand = Math.random();
if(rand < 0.5){
Intent reset1 = new Intent(Title.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(reset1);
} else {
Intent reset2 = new Intent(Title.this, Question36.class);
startActivity(reset2);
}
}
});
rts = (Button) findViewById(R.id.rts);
rts.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent rts=new Intent(Title.this,Rts.class);
startActivity(rts);
}
});
final Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.animator.animation);
a.reset();
final ImageView rImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.title);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.root);
layout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override public void onClick(View v) {
rImage.startAnimation(a);
func(); //A call to the function.
}
});
}
protected void func() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.title, menu);
return true;
}
}

Use like this:
public class Title extends Activity {
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
hope this will give you some solution.

Before onCreate in all the activities:
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {
Intent intent=new Intent (Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
// finish();
}
return true;
}

onActivityResult Is not responding when choosing from a list

Hi Guys I am new with android programming and Java. I am trying to make a travel app. My issue is that how do I pass data from the selected item from the list to the editText filed. This is out I have done so far.. Pls. be kind I am newbee
The activity class that uses the ListActivity
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SelectStationActivity extends ListActivity {
String stations[] = { "Acton Main Line","Ealing","Great Western","Albany Park"};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ArrayAdapter <String> adapter =new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, stations);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
protected void OnListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
String values = stations[(int) id];
Intent result = new Intent().putExtra("SELECTED_STATION_NAME", values);
setResult(RESULT_OK, result);
finish();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.select_station, menu);
return true;
}
The main class

// Clear edit Text
checkoutEditText.setText("");
// Enable the check-in EditText and Button
checkoutEditText.setEnabled(false);
checkoutButton.setEnabled(false);
/*

* eternal cycle of checking in and out to commence once again */
checkinEditText.setText("");
checkinEditText.setEnabled(true);
checkinButton.setEnabled(true);
checkinEditText.requestFocus();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Travel information added!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
});
I could implement a inner class for the two select buttons but i have diffculties to do it.Pls. provide some help how I could implement it thanks.
selectChkInButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(TravelActivity.this,
SelectStationActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, SelectChkin_REQUEST_CODE);
}
});
selectChkOutButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(TravelActivity.this,SelectStationActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, SelectChkout_REQUEST_CODE);
}
});
}
The onActivityResult is not responding here
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode== RESULT_OK){
if (requestCode == 1) {
checkinEditText.setText(data.getStringExtra("SELECTED_STATION_NAME"));
}
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuItem item = menu.add(Menu.NONE, Menu.FIRST, Menu.NONE, "Recipt");
item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
return true;
}
public boolean OnMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
String Recipt = "Recipt" + item.getItemId() + "\nCheck-in: "
+ checkinStation + "\nCheck-Out: " + checkoutStation;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), Recipt, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
return true;
}
protected void OnSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
outState.putString("lAST_CHECKIN", checkinStation);
outState.putString("lAST_CHECKOUT", checkoutStation);
}
protected void onRestoreInstance(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
checkinStation = savedInstanceState.getString(checkinStation);
checkoutStation = savedInstanceState.getString(checkoutStation);
}
}

You Should use this
checkinEditText.setText(data.getStringExtra("SELECTED_STATION_NAME"));
as
checkinEditText.setText(data.getStringExtra("SELECTED_STATION_NAME").toString());

SQLite android programming issue

MY program is note working on the emulator. There are no errors in the code from eclipse. It says that "the process has stopped unexpectedly". I have tried to run the xml code by it self and it comes up without a problem. I also have a db file of the same activity however I am more suspicious of this file being the cause of the problem. I cannot find any thing to help find the answer. I do not know much about programming but I have been researching this application. The solution to this would help many people who might have this problem or are interested in this activity.
I am interested in inserting a fixed text from a button into a database.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Watchnotes extends Activity implements OnClickListener,
android.view.View.OnClickListener {
Button button1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_);
button1.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity, menu);
return true;
}
// public interface
public void onClick(View arg0) {
boolean didItWork = true;
try{
switch (arg0.getId()) {
case R.id.button1:
String note = "XXXX";
NAME entry = new NAMEdb(NAME.this);
entry.open();
entry.createEntry(note);
entry.close();}
}catch (Exception e){
didItWork = false;
}finally{
if (didItWork){
Dialog d = new Dialog(this);
d.setTitle("XXXX");
d.show();}
}
}
public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (((View) arg0).getId()){
case R.id.button5:
Intent i = new Intent("com.intent.LIST");
startActivity(i);}}}

we have the same problem. Just initialize
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main3);
addListenerOnButton1();
addListenerOnButton2();
}
public void addListenerOnButton1() {
final Context context = this;
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn1);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, App2Activity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});

Cannot start TTS (Text to Speech)

Ok basically I have everything set up and I have set up my onClick method many times, but this time it is set up in my main.xml file
<Button
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_height="40dip"
android:layout_width="80dip"
android:id="#+id/speak"
android:enabled="true"
android:visible="true"
android:text="Speak" >
</Button>
obviously it has other things to define its layout but that is one of the xml layouts inside my button, and for some reason every time I click on the button, it just closes the entire application, Why is that?
also If I set it up to add a onClickListener then the button just does nothing.
I would set up my onClick listener like this
speak.setOnClickListener(this);
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.speak:
doSpeak();
break;
}
}
and it still doesnt work.... So i just dont know what I am doing wrong

I mean am i not setting the volume or setting or telling it to speak?!?!?, am I not telling it to do something it is supposed to do?..... the volume on my phone is on and the media volume is up, I have an HTC evo 4g so it should work.....
here Ill add another one with utterance and the onClick Method

There are many things mixed up in your code, especially the part where you check the engine with a StartActivityforResult().
Please see this example of a working TTS: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/TextToSpeechActivity.html
Also you did not assign any ID to the button (apparently?) Could it be, that another button is using the ID?
/edit:
First of all, merge both Activities. If you call onCreate()again, it will override the previous one. Then add implements OnClickListener and replace
speakBtn.setOnClickListener((OnClickListener) this);
with
speakBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
Eclipse will tell you that you need to add an unimplemented method.

If the XML code you copied at the top of your question is all you have to declare that button, then it is missing the id you expect (R.id.speak) in the handler...
I would suggest you add some debug prints in the doButton function see if that gets called correctly before going any further in the text-to-speech and so on.

My text to speech doesn't want to talk back to me

I am still having problems with my TextToSpeech android, I entered the button twice once for the implemented Speech like exlipse asked me too and one for the implemented OnClickListener, Even if I take out the bottom action for the button it doesn't want to play, Why? idk it just doesn't want to say what is in my EditText Field I have no clue why it doesn't want to and I have asked around many times but I haven't goten an answer that worked.

Did you try speaking the text with just one method call? Like this
mTts.speak(aString, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
It works fine for me. The initialization I use is the same as yours. The only remaining difference is this (which should not be necessary to get the TTS to work!):
this.speaker.setSpeechRate(0.9f);
this.speaker.setPitch(0.9f);
