Answer 1

you can do by this

1. override the onBackPressed() method into your Activity like this way

   public void onBackPressed(){
        // do something here and don't write super.onBackPressed()
   }
   

2. override the onKeyDown() method

   @Override
   public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
       switch(keyCode){
       case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
           // do something here 
           return true;
       }
       return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
   }
