Quasar exiting app pressing back button

[nirmal]

I have just started to build a quasar app. When the app is installed in emulator or real device, I cannot exit the app pressing back button.

Why my app doesn’t exit when I press back button? Do I have to implement something?

The app is created via quasar init command

The app is built via quasar build -m cordova -T android

The apk is signed by jarsigner

and then installed on device.

The app works fine but when i try to exit app by pressing back button. The app won’t exit.

Does this commit seem to be the same one you are facing?

Might this snippet work for you?

document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, false)
function onBackKeyDown(event) {
   navigator.app.exitApp()
}

When I implement this in my app… MY app exits everytime i press the back button.
I want my app to exit only when there is no window history.
I tried to use window.history.length but it keeps on increasing as stated here
So how can I exit app when I am in the ‘home’ of the app

Thanks for your reply

Try adding the replace directive as described here: https://quasar-framework.org/components/handling-back-button.html#Quirks
I’ve got the same problem too and the that directive fixed it.

I have the same issue, my app has a start page, and auto jumps to different pages based on some conditions, in the target page, I just want exit when back button is pressed, but the route is not “#/”, so just not work.

This behavior is only found in the release version. when I do debug build using ‘quasar dev -m cordova -T android’, the back button is working, why?
