Button like Home Button of Android!

Hi guyz,

I am making a game and i want to make a custom back-home-switch buttons like there are in android , i hve managed most of the stuff.

its only that, Is there a way to make event like on clicked > go to home screen of android , such that it does not quit the game but go to home screen and when we switch back to it it just resume if you know what i mean!

I hope you understood what i said!

Any ideas??

Thank you

Explained:

"I want to make an artificial android control panel in construct 2 to match my game's theme

i.e.A panel consist of 3 buttons to operate back, home and switch buttons

now so far i don,t need switch button, and i have got back button working too!

all i need is to add action to move to android home screen when i touch a custom made button!

and i cannot find a plugin to move to android home screen!"

C2 games are usually automatically doing that, however u need permission to ask android device to keep the progress of app if "closed" so the switch between apps can work.

in short is not a c2 software problem, is a android device settings problem i think what you might have!

when you are saying android screen.... you mean your application menu? or the device screen?

if you mean your application menu/game transition you just need different layouts and create a button/sprite when is touched or pressed you use the system reference go to layout! if u dont use layouts and u are using layers, its same thing u just hide or show the specific layer.

for the device android screen.... is what i said before! you can try using the browser plugin and use .js to hide the app.

hope it helped you!

i meant device screen by android home screen!

and browser plugin's go to home action goes to application's home page not device (android's) home screen

and i dont know how to use .js to hide the app... can you explain a little more please...

thanks
