In this episode of Shaping the Future of Android, we deep-dive into a deceptively simple yet architecturally significant element of Android development — the Back Button.

We trace its transformation from the old onBackPressed() chaos into the modern, lifecycle-aware, and cleanly testable OnBackPressedDispatcher. You’ll not only understand the “how,” but more importantly, the why behind this evolution.

🔍 What you'll learn:

• How to handle back navigation with clarity, testability, and modularity

• Activity vs Fragment: Best practices in the lifecycle-aware era

• Cleaner code via Kotlin extensions

• Preventing memory leaks in real-world navigation stacks

• Refactoring legacy navigation flows to meet modern standards

📱 Whether you're building fintech-grade flows or refining user experience in a startup, this episode provides actionable insights for clean and future-ready back navigation.
