something similar works on same app in Qt Desktop.

Also, a app of ours has faced multiple QA rejections because of
non-standard back-button behavior in android qt.

QtActivity gets the events-- but somehow the android event system doesnt
get the back-button event unless we first touch (or click) a component in
that window first.
