Disappearing "Back" Button

[Alena Prykhodko]

Joseph,

Please give us your public app link and steps to test the issue. You can send these via email. Do you use autogenerated or custom certificates?
What device and Android version you have?

[Joseph Dindinger]

I will send the info via email. We have tested on two different Android devices with the same result. My device is an htc incredible.

Hello! Try prewindow.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank', 'location=yes');/pre

Hi Maryna,

This is what I originally was trying. It is what I wrote above, if you read the entire post.

Any other ideas?

Thank you,

Joseph

Hello! Unfortunately we can't reproduce this problem. Looks like there is some issue with app logic. Is your app shared with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a. What are the steps to reproduce?

We created new app with two screens, on button click navigate from one screen to another. On second screen there is a Back button in header and button which on click event invokes the following code:prewindow.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank', 'location=yes');/preBack button on second screen works as expected and won't disappear no matter how we closed the childBrowser (using Done button or device back button). Could you check if such app works for you?

Could you share that app with me? I'd like to look at what you did, because when I do it, there is no "Done" button.

I just shared the folder with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a, and I also sent login info via email. Hopefully you have all you need.

Look forward to figuring this out!

Hello! Could you clarify on what event you invoke this code? It won't work before device is ready (if you run it on Load or Show event of Start screen). Also you have to install app to test.

[Joseph Dindinger]

This only runs when a button is pressed. This does not run on "Load", only on the "Click" event of the buttons.

Any other suggestions?

Hello Joseph,

Should we look at your app 'hotoapps'? If it yes, please specify the steps of reproducing the error.

[Joseph Dindinger]

OK. I have created a new app with only this code so that it is easy to test. The new app is called "BuggyTest" and it will simply show you three buttons. Notice that if you press any of the buttons, they go out to a website. When you click the Mobile "back" button on the Android device to go back to the app, the app "Back" button disappears.

You might also be able to download the app using the qr code below.
