Keytool is not recognized as internal or extenal command / Adding PATH in system variable

If you are running a keytool command 
keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\arun\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android 
 and getting an error 
'keytool' is not recognized as an internal or external command 

If you are using any other commad like java,javac , etc.. and getting an error " is not recognized as an internal or external command" 
you can also use this same steps 
you are getting this error because keytool.exe , executable file which exists in the bin directory of your JDK  is not added to Path in your Environmental variables. To resolve this issue

1.first we need to find the bin Directory of our jdk 
  Usually this will be in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_221\bin
(jre1.8.0_221 - change this to your latest version , ). you can see keytool.exe file in the bin directory . (If you installed jdk in a different directory Find your Jdk installation folder and  use that path.)

2. we need to add this bin directory to PATH in Environment variables 
3. Go to Advanced system settings .
      I. If you are using windows 10, search for  advanced system settings in search bar

      II.or go to control panel->system And Security

    III.click on system and click advanced system settings in left side

4. Click on environment variables In Advanced  system settings 
5. Select path and click Edit in Environment variables    
6. click New and add your jdk bin path
7.click ok .now you are ready to to go 
8. open your command prompt and run the command

This allows android to go back to previous destination when user clicks back button . some  times we  need to implement our own back button behavior  for best user experience . For example  if we are in a timer based quiz  application . when the user clicks on the back button if we go back to the previous destination without stopping  the counter , it will crash  the application .

If the user want to go back to previous destination  we need to stop the counter and  then go back to the previous destination. We can control the back button hahavior byusing OnBackPressedDispatcher  . This controls how back button events are dispatched to one or more onBackPressedCallback objects . callbacks are added using addCallback methods. e...
