Handle Android Back Button on Phonegap InAppBrowser

Question

I would like to disable or override the Android Back button while I am navigating pages on the InAppBrowser. Can I add an event listener that can handle that?

Answer 1

Running Cordova 5.1.1 and when i load pages in the inappbroswer i like having the back button work until the inappbrowser exits back to my index.html page because it's blank and just sits there. So i used the following code to fix this. It exits the app when it exits the inappbrowser.

window.open = cordova.InAppBrowser.open;                
            var ref = window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=no');
            ref.addEventListener('exit', function () {
                navigator.app.exitApp();
            });
