Phonegap - navigator.app.backHistory() not working on HTML back button

Question

In my app i am using phonegap 2.6.For back button, I am using the following function

document.addEventListener(\"backbutton\", onBackKeyDown, false);

functi         


        

Answer 1

I have tried 3 separate things when I faced the same situation:

• window.history.back()

• navigator.app.backHistory();

• History.go(-1);

Individually, none of these solve the problem. I put all 3 things together and much to my surprise it worked. I really don't know what is behind it.

Then I decreased to two functions and removed:

• window.history.back()

Now I am using this function and it is working fine.

//Works Fine
function onBackKeyDown() {
    history.go(-1);
    navigator.app.backHistory();
}
