Onsen 1.3.14 android backbutton exit application instead of calling navi.popPage()

Question

Im using Onsen 1.3.14. From what I've read, I thought android backbutton should be calling navi.popPage() by default, but instead my application always exited.

I also have tried using this

Workaround using $rootScope

but it still wont work.

Is it a bug? Is there a workaround to make android backbutton not exiting the app?

Thanks.

Regards

It's not true that the android backbutton should be calling navi.popPage(). What if, for example, there is a sliding menu instead of a navigator?

If you want to implement a popPage, you can write something like this:

document.addEventListener("backbutton",onBackButtonPressed, false);

function onBackButtonPressed(){
        var element = document.querySelector("ons-navigator");
        element.popPage();
}

If you want to learn more about how to handle the android backbutton in Onsen UI, you can take a look at the official documentation:
