Use the phone's back button as back button? #20

Are you using Boxee or XBMC?
Boxee

Would it be possible to use the phone's hardware back button as a back button 
in boxee, without leaving the app?

It's possible, but i'm not sure if it's something I personally would like. 

Implementing this would make BoxeeRemote different from other android apps, 
which normally you go backwards in the phone when you hit that button. When it 
behaves abnormally, it may confuse or frustrate users, who would be forced to 
use 
the Home button to leave the app.

Thus, I would prefer to make the application behave more like a normal android 
app 
with normal hardware Back button behavior. 

Are you trying to do something that you can't accomplish with the on-screen 
button?

Others may disagree. What does everyone think?

There was some discussion of this on Issue 7
