MvvmCross and back button in Windows Phone app

Question

I'm building a Windows Phone app (8.1 using WinRT) using MvvmCross. To navigate to a new view I using ShowViewModel(). But when I hit the back button on the phone the app is closing instead of navigating back to the first view. How can I do it I want to return to the first view when I hitting the back button?

Answer 1

I solved it to use a interface in my viewmodel with a backbutton event, then I wrote a client speific implementation of it. In the viewmodel I handle the event and called the close method in the my base class MvxViewModel.
