Native backButton eventlistener? possible?

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I'd like to have an eventListener on backbutton of the iPhone.

I know i can make a custom backbutton, but this is not native! Its the native backbutton i want, there should be a way of knowing when this button is pressed.

As for the reason: When i press a button a window opens with a mapView.

Now when i press back the gps is still on, and i read that the mapview still exist. So i want to remove the mapview and close the window and any other method to shut down the gps.

The back button does the same as window.close(), so you can try to catch the close event of the current window.

customBackButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
    navGroup.close(currentWindow);
});

For IPhone only (Android:back event works for Android catching back button): On a tabgroup, listening to the close event of the windows in each tab does not seem to catch the back button being pressed. I am using SKD 2.0.1 GA2. Anyone has a solution?
