Is it possible to exit the App without press the back button like ???.exitApp() directly inside the code? Thanks...

Hi, is your blog under maintenance? I cannot access ..

[@Mr.Thenula2011]

Hi mate, nice tutorial, can you show how to set a custom button with back button behavior, let say I have a button on-screen with an icon I need it to behave the same as the hardware back button you showed in your video

Hi, and thank you for your tutorial. I tried to exit application if it's in background for more than 30 minutes using navigator['app'].exitApp(). When the exit event it's triggered the application it's refreshed, and rest in background. Do you know why that happend and the application it's not fully closed? Any help will be great. Thank you!

Did you try to use Platform.exit()?

[@ciprian-danielturca3067]

@@BetterCoding Does not exist any exit method on Platform or this.platform.

@@ciprian-danielturca3067 are we talking about ios app or Android one? The solution works with Android.

[@ciprian-danielturca3067]

@@BetterCoding I'm working with Angular an Ionic 5. In Ionic 5 Platform.exit() not exist. The application it's for both, Android and iOS.

@@ciprian-danielturca3067 but navigstor['app'].exitApp() may work only on Android, because on IOS you don't realy kill the application AFIK. Its still running

i have problem with ionic 6, not work. Help me please

[@BetterCoding]

I will check it out tonight

[@devaldiakbars6769]

Is will be work in IOS version too ?

[@BetterCoding]

Hi. There is no such thing like back button on IOS, but yes - the code is written on such way that if the button existed, the code would work. I lost my blog during last fire of Strassburg data center. I'll try to bring it up to work soon.
