Phonegap – navigator.app.backHistory() not working on HTML back button

I have tried 3 separate things when I faced the same situation:

  • window.history.back()

  • navigator.app.backHistory();

  • History.go(-1);

Individually, none of these solve the problem. I put all 3 things together and much to my surprise it worked. I really don’t know what is behind it.

Then I decreased to two functions and removed:

  • window.history.back()

Now I am using this function and it is working fine.

//Works Fine
function onBackKeyDown() {
    history.go(-1);
    navigator.app.backHistory();
}
