Android Back Button Issue

[piyushpandey-kiwi]

Hi,

I am using capacitor plugin with angular 8 and when i click on back button in android then nothing works. Please suggest asap.

I am using this code in app.component.ts

App.addListener('backButton', (res) => {
console.log('back res', res);
});

what does "nothing works" mean?

Means its not navigating to previous url

[piyushpandey-kiwi]

App.addListener('backButton', (res) => {
console.log('back res', res);
this.location.back();
});

yeah, backButton listener is meant to be used when you don't want the default behavior of the back button but to handle the navigation yourself.
The default behavior is to navigate back, but if you add the backButton listener then it doesn't navigate back.

so how to navigate back using backButton listener. As i have to manage backbutton functionality using this code:

App.addListener('backButton', (res) => {
console.log('back res', res);
if (this.activeModal.hasOpenModals()) {
this.activeModal.dismissAll();
} else if (this.router.url === '/home/dashboard' || this.router.url === '/home/dashboard/control') {
this.showConfirm();
} else if (this.router.url === '/landing/forgot-password') {
this.router.navigateByUrl('/landing/login');
} else if (this.router.url === '/landing/login') {
this.showConfirm();
} else {
this.location.back();
}
});
