Android Back key cycling focus instead of returning to previous activity

I have this layout

enter image description here

Two SearchView widgets
One ListView

When I press the android back key the focus cycles between the filter box and the search box.
I want to go back to my previous activity, but I cannot do it, since the back key only goes from one box to the other.
How can I get the back key press event ?

this code does not even get called

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED);
    super.onBackPressed();   
}

The problem is definitely with the SearchView widgets and its handling of the focus/backkey.
I changed the SearchViews to EditTexts
I changed the QueryTextListeners to TextWatchers
and... voila!

Now the onBackPressed() is called and the activity can return to its previous caller.

I always had trouble with the onBackPressed. You should try to use onKeyDown or onKeyUp.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)  {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {
        // do something on back.
        return true;
    }

    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

You can override activity's onBackPressed() method to do whatever job you wanna do on back key pressed like

you can call previous activity on back key press...like,

@override
public void onBackPressed ()
{
  Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, PreviousActivity.class);
  startActivity(intent);
  finish();

}
