Why does application close on back button - Flutter

Question

As my question says, pressing phone back button application is going back to custom splash screen rather than previous page. Any idea what would be the issue ? Following is main.dart code

void main() => runApp(new MaterialApp(
    theme: ThemeData(primaryColor: Colors.red),
    debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
    home: SplashScreen(),
    ))

Splash screen closes after 3 seconds and app goes to login page.

Thanks in advance.

Probably you incorrectly use navigator, use pushReplacement to replace SplashScreen with a new one. and use push to open a new screen on top of the previous.

example:

// Close splash screen and open MainPage
Navigator.of(context).pushReplacement(MainPage.route());

// Open LoginPage on top of the previous page
Navigator.of(context).push(LoginPage.route());
