I am overriding my device back button per the documentation that I attach event listener to backbutton
with argument of false
after the devicerea
Try This
$(document).ready(function () {
document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, false);
});
function onBackKeyDown() {
alert('ok backey downed');
}

The issue was I was importing cordova.js in an iframe even though it was already in the parent window scope. I didn't know it would break it and thought I had to import cordova.js in the iframe. Removing the from the iframe fixed it.
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.
}
