Cordova backbutton Event Never Firing

Question

I am overriding my device back button per the documentation that I attach event listener to backbutton with argument of false after the devicerea

Answer 1

Try using the normal way of using cordova events.

// device APIs are available
//
function onDeviceReady() {
    // Register the event listener
    document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, false);
}

// Handle the back button
//
function onBackKeyDown() {
    //Add your back button implementation.
}
