import { Platform, Nav, Config, ToastController } from 'ionic-angular';

constructor(public toastCtrl: ToastController, public platform: Platform) {
    platform.ready().then(() => {
        //back button handle
        //Registration of push in Android and Windows Phone
        var lastTimeBackPress = 0;
        var timePeriodToExit  = 2000;

        platform.registerBackButtonAction(() => {
            // get current active page
            let view = this.nav.getActive();
            if (view.component.name == "TabsPage") {
                //Double check to exit app
                if (new Date().getTime() - lastTimeBackPress < timePeriodToExit) {
                    this.platform.exitApp(); //Exit from app
                } else {
                    let toast = this.toastCtrl.create({
                        message:  'Press back again to exit App?',
                        duration: 3000,
                        position: 'bottom'
                    });
                    toast.present();
                    lastTimeBackPress = new Date().getTime();
                }
            } else {
                // go to previous page
                this.nav.pop({});
            }
        });
    });
}
