background_on_back #

A Flutter plugin for Android that intercepts the system back button to move the application to the background instead of exiting/closing it.

🚀 Features #

• Prevent App Exit: Keeps your app alive in the background when the user presses the back button.
• Persistent State: Ideal for apps that need to maintain state (music players, GPS trackers, etc.) without a full restart.
• Simple API: Trigger backgrounding with a single line of code.

📦 Installation #

Add background_on_back to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  background_on_back: ^latest

🛠️ Usage #

In modern Flutter (3.12+), it is recommended to use the PopScope widget to handle back button events.

Implementation Example

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const HomePage({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return PopScope(
        canPop: false,
        onPopInvokedWithResult: (didPop, result) {
          if (didPop) return;
          BackgroundOnBack.pop();
        },
        child: Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Homepage')),
          body: Center(child: Text('Hassle free solution for android BACK press')),
        ),
      );
  }
}
