I am trying to find a way to call a custom method from the phones menu button from within a libGDX screen.

Is there a way to do this. i Know that you can catch the touch with

Gdx.input.setCatchMenuKey(true);

but I have not been able to find a way to call a method.

From within the class which extends Screen I would like to have a method such as the following which is called when the phone menu key is pressed:

private void onPhoneMenuKeyTouch(){
    //do something
}

Could you please add at least pseudo-code, to clarify what method and from where you are not able to call? – Mikhail Churbanov Apr 16 '14 at 08:05

You can use libgdx InputProcessor, you can find code example at following question, just use Keys.MENU instead of Keys.BACK: [similar answered question here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7223723/in-libgdx-how-do-i-get-input-from-the-back-button) – Mikhail Churbanov Apr 16 '14 at 08:11

@user2145312 you can also answer your own question and accept it, so that others know it is solved. – Robert P Apr 16 '14 at 08:27
