使用Ionic2 / angular2的设备（Android）后退按钮单击检测

Question

I am able to detect the device(Android) back button click event using the following code. But after clicking the back button, it is going one level back and opening the confirmation dialog.

How do i avoid this behavior(going to the previous screen) using ionic2?

registerBackButtonListener() {              
        document.addEventListener('backbutton', () => {           
            let backBtnCnfirm = this.alertCtrl.create({
              message: 'Do you want to close the App?',
              buttons: [
              {
               text: 'Yes',
               handler: () => {
               this.platform.exitApp();
              }
            },
            {
             text: 'No',
             handler: () => {
            }
          }
        ]
       });
        backBtnCnfirm.present();
        }, false);
    }

The back button will call navCtrl.pop() , so going back to the previous page. Ionic offers lifecycle events such as viewDidEnter, viewWillEnter, viewWillLeave etc.

When in your code you create this function:

ionViewWillLeave(){
   this.alertCtrl.create({
     message: 'Do you want to close the App?',
              buttons: [
              {
                text: 'Yes',
                handler: () => {
                  this.platform.exitApp();
               }
             },
             {
              text: 'No',
              role: 'cancel'
            }
           ]
   }).present();
}

Ionic will execute this before the navCtrl.pop() has been executed.

Note: this will execute every time the page will leave (so when pushing or popping manually) but I think you're smart enough to find a workaround (boolean check fe)

(I don't know your requirements but I find it bad UX to show such a message when the backbutton is pressed, usually people would want to go a page back)
