I'm trying to control how the android hardware back button behaves in my app. I had it all working but now I can't reproduce it. The code I'm using is in app.js. I'm expecting the back button to do nothing but write to the console.
.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
$ionicPlatform.onHardwareBackButton(function() {
console.log("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
});
Can any one see what the problem is? I'm running ionic CLI v1.7.11. I'm running the code with ionic view on android
You can find full details, including a full working solution for both hard & soft back buttons at my related post:
To summarise how I handled the hardware back button, the trick is to register an action for the Back button, using code like this:
var doCustomBack= function() {
// do something interesting here
};
// registerBackButtonAction() returns a function which can be used to deregister it
var deregisterHardBack= $ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(
doCustomBack, 101
);
$scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
deregisterHardBack();
});
The actual setting is done in that second block calling $ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction().
This returns a method that can be called to deregister the action later on if you want to.
