Hi there,

I am just starting with Android + Processing + Eclipse (yes it's evil I know, still...). Ive got a simple android app running, with one activity and a simple sketch inside that lets me draw colored ellipses. I can send it to my HTC Wildfire S with no problem.

Now I have 2 questions that I am having a tough time answering:

How do I use Toasts within the processing code? Is it even possible? Crashes my app instantly.

How do I override the default key behaviour? I want to use the volume keys to change some variables, and it works, but still they change the volume at the same time.
I have set the keyCode to 0 as described in the wiki, does not work, also not on the BACK button:

<code>
    public void keyPressed() {
        background(255); // clear canvas
       
        if (key == CODED && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
            keyCode = 0;
            Log.i("App_ButtonPressed", "Back Button pressed!");
        }
        if (key == CODED && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU) {
            Log.i("App_ButtonPressed", "Menu Button pressed!");
        }
        if (key == CODED && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN) {
            keyCode = 0;
            Log.i("App_ButtonPressed", "Volume Down Button pressed!");
        }
        if (key == CODED && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP) {
            keyCode = 0;
            Log.i("App_ButtonPressed", "Volume UP Button pressed!");
        }
    }
}

</code>

I am glad for any advice or pointing in the right direction! One thing: is there a code-context for this forum to colorize code?
Cheers
