  Afaik, check your manifest and make sure the following is existed inside activity tab
  android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
  
  

  AndroidManifest.zip 766B

  you should have to put the code to handle back button in gideros there is no concept like activity so most likely on every scene you have to put the code to handle the back button and change the scene on the event of back button and on menu screen call Application:exit() to quit the app
  
  you can also take a look at keyboard example shipped with installation ( examples --> hardware --> keyboard

  @papirosnik, Gideros can't provide proper back button functionality, because all objects and gideros view are in one Activity, thus you can't navigate through activities as in native android apps.
  Thus back button is disabled, so you could imitate it's functionality inside your app by catching event and responding correctly (exiting app or going to previous scene).
  
  Check keyboard example from Gideros examples

  end
  
  
  local function onKeyUp(event)
  
  if event.keyCode == KeyCode.BACK then
  
  ----- Your function
  
  end
  end
  
  
  stage:addEventListener(Event.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown)
  stage:addEventListener(Event.KEY_UP, onKeyUp)
