Window not closing after handling back button

Question

When I press the back button on the window, then it is not getting closed. If I remove the back button handle, then it is getting closed. Below is the code snippet.

$.myWindow.addEventListener("android:back", function() {
 // perform some action
});

Can someone please let me know as to why it is not closing?

Answer 1

You need to close the window manually if you handle the back button. For example the code should be:

$.myWindow.addEventListener("android:back", function() {
 // perform some action
 $.myWindow.close();
});

This should resolve the issue.
