Ionic 3: Back Button Hardware Event Handler Can't Determine Overlay Views

I have an ionic 3 application and I modified the functionality of the hardware back button. It works on pages but it cannot determine whether overlay views like modals and alert dialog boxes are present or not.
Here is my code
this.platform.registerBackButtonAction(() => {
let nav = app._appRoot._getActivePortal() || app.getActiveNav();
let activeView = nav.getActive().instance;
if (activeView != null) {
if (nav.canGoBack()) {
if (activeView instanceof MultiRegistrationOne || activeView instanceof MultiRegistrationTwo || activeView instanceof MultiRegistrationThree) {
// do something
} else {
nav.pop();
}
} else if (activeView.isOverlay) {
activeView.dismiss();
} else {
let alert = this.alertCtrl.create({
title: 'Ionic App',
message: 'Do you want to close the app?',
buttons: [{
text: 'Cancel',
role: 'cancel',
handler: () => {
console.log('Application exit prevented!');
}
},
{
text: 'Close',
handler: () => {
this.platform.exitApp();
}
}]
});
alert.present();
}
}
});
I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you in advance 😊

declare a variable :viewController:ViewController
then in your page or app.components.ts , modify your back button handle to be like the
this.platform.registerBackButtonAction(() => {
try{
this.viewController.dismiss()
}
catch(e){
console.log("error");
}
});

I solved it using MD. Riyas' answer here: Solution

How to listen Android hardware back button in ionic

I try to listen android hardware back button,but it is no effect.
main code:
.run(['$ionicPlatform','$ionicHistory',function($ionicPlatform,$ionicHistory) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
}
if(window.StatusBar) {
StatusBar.styleDefault();
}
});
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$ionicHistory.nextViewOptions({
disableAnimate: true
});
$ionicHistory.viewHistory().backView.go();
return false;
}, 100);
}])
My running environment is mobile browser.Android version 4.4.2

UPDATE: I'm no longer using this as it was unreliable. Additionally, in the latest Ionic release, app.ts is now app.component.ts.
For Ionic 2, check out my blog post on how to fix this. Should also work for Ionic 1, as it's only calling a cordova listener:
http://www.codingandclimbing.co.uk/blog/ionic-2-android-back-button-13
and here's the actual post info:
In your app.ts, do the following to get the back button working as expected (mostly!):
initializeApp() {
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
this.registerBackButtonListener();
});
}
registerBackButtonListener() {
document.addEventListener('backbutton', () => {
var nav = this.getNav();
if (nav.canGoBack()) {
nav.pop();
}
else {
this.confirmExitApp(nav);
}
});
}
confirmExitApp(nav) {
let confirm = Alert.create({
title: 'Confirm Exit',
message: 'Really exit app?',
buttons: [
{
text: 'Cancel',
handler: () => {
console.log('Disagree clicked');
}
},
{
text: 'Exit',
handler: () => {
navigator.app.exitApp();
}
}
]
});
nav.present(confirm);
}
getNav() {
return this.app.getComponent('nav');
}
Note:
If you get errors about app not being a property of navigator:
1) Add a typings folder to your app root: e.g. app/typings
2) Add a file called: pluginshackyhacky.d.ts
3) Add for properties you need extended for TypeScript to compile.:
interface /*PhoneGapNavigator extends*/ Navigator {
app: any;
}
4) Add the pluginshackyhacky.d.ts to the compile in the tsconfig.json:
"files": [
"app/app.ts",
"app/typings/pluginshackyhacky.d.ts",
"app/typings/phonegap.d.ts"
]
You can see that I've also included the phonegap.d.ts file which includes a lot of missing properties/variables that allows TypeScript to compile without errors.
Hope this helps anyone having this problem.
Cheers.

Ionic - disable hardware backbutton in Windows Phone 8.1 not working

I'm developing using IONIC framework. I'm having trouble with the hardware back button.
In android the hardware back button works perfectly, but the windows phone did not work out.
When I use the back button on windows phone minimizes the application and returns the device's home.
This function only works on android:
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function () {
console.log("Not work in WP");
}, 100);
help !!

I found solution.
In site
https://www.hoessl.eu/2014/12/on-using-the-ionic-framework-for-windows-phone-8-1-apps/
have a post calling -> Not fixed yet: Back Button
Not fixed yet: Back Button
With Windows Phone 8.0, listening on the “backbutton” event was pretty
simple, just as with android. On WP8.1, this event is not triggered
anymore. I haven’t figured out how to enable it yet. Any hint would be
appreciated.
But a user commented the solution. follows the passage that worked in
my case
Back Button Fix :
Set your $ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (evt) {
if (evt && evt.type == ‘backclick’) {
$ionicHistory.goBack();
return true;
}
}, 100);
Hookin WinJS and send it to Ionic :
if(ionic.Platform.isWindowsPhone)
{
WinJS.Application.onbackclick = function (evt) {
$ionicPlatform.hardwareBackButtonClick(evt);
return true;
}
}
Easy Fix, long time figuring it out

Example for placing the code inside app.js
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.menu', 'starter.services'])
.run(function ($ionicPlatform, $ionicHistory, $state, ...) {
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (evt) {
if (evt && evt.type == 'backclick') {
$ionicHistory.goBack();
return true;
}
}, 100);
...
$ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
...
if (ionic.Platform.isWindowsPhone()) {
WinJS.Application.onbackclick = function (evt) {
if ($state.current.name == 'app.home') {
//function responsible for exiting the application in Windows phone 8.1
cordova.exec(null, null, "ExitApp", "execute", []);
} else {
$ionicPlatform.hardwareBackButtonClick(evt);
return true;
}
}
}
}); ...

Enter / Go key on Android keyboard when focusing a numberfield

my problem is that I can't catch any event on pressing enter key while "inside" a numberfield.
I started by listening to action event, then tried to catch keyup event and check the keycode. None of those are working for me:
xtype: 'numberfield',
cls: 'bordered_input',
label: '',
name: 'value',
itemId: 'stavif_value',
listeners: {
keyup: function(numberfield, e){
if(e.event.keyCode == 13)
console.log('KEYUP CATCHED');
},
action: function(){
console.log('ACTION CATCHED');
}
}
Then I moved the numberfield inside a form.Panel and tried to catch the beforesubmit event:
var form = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
submitOnAction: true,
items: [
{
xtype: 'fieldset',
items: [
{
xtype: 'numberfield',
cls: 'bordered_input',
label: '',
name: 'hodnota',
itemId: 'stavif_hodnota'
}
],
listeners: {
beforesubmit: function(form, values, options) {
console.log('BEFORESUBMIT inside FIELDSET');
}
}
}
],
listeners: {
beforesubmit: function(form, values, options) {
console.log('BEFORESUBMIT inside form.Panel');
}
}
});
I've put the 'listeners' thingy to fieldset aswell (originally I've had it without the fieldset), just to be sure that I'm not missing anything. However I didn't succeed once again.
What makes me confused is that when I use textfield instead of numberfield I am able to catch the keyup and the action events (dunno about the beforesubmit though, didn't try that).

There is a special key event listener for numberfield. Try
listeners: {
specialkey: function(field, e){
if (e.getKey() == e.ENTER) {
console.log('Enter pressed');
}
}
}

Disable the Go button from submitting the form (Sencha Touch 2, Cordova, Android)

I have a form and there is a button that submits it. I wish that submit would be executed only on tap on 'Register' button. But when user inputs some text in any textfield and presses "Go" (aka "Enter") button. The form submits and I can do nothing about it.
This behavior is noticed on Samsung Galaxy S (GT i9000) on Android v2.3.6. But HTC with Android 4 behaves as I wish.
The submitOnAction:false doesn't help.
beforesubmit too. Any of solutions in code listing don't work.
I just don't want the form to submit in any other way except pressing 'Register' button!
File /view/userRegistration/FormPanel.js
Ext.define('My.view.userRegistration.FormPanel', {
extend: 'My.view.components.FormPanel',
xtype : 'userRegistrationForm',
config: {
standardSubmit : false,
submitOnAction : false,
listeners: {
beforesubmit: function(form, values, options, eOpts){
console.log('before submit fired');
return false; // returning false doesn't help
},
'> field': {
keyup: function(fld, e){
//13 = user tapped 'return' button on keyboard
//10 = user tapped 'hide keyboard' on keyboard
if (e.browserEvent.keyCode == 13 || e.browserEvent.keyCode == 10) {
e.stopEvent();
fld.element.dom.blur();
}
}
}
},
items : [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name : 'firstName',
required: true,
listeners: {
action: function(field, e, eOpts) {
e.stopEvent();
return false;
},
keyup: function(field, e) {
if (e.browserEvent.keyCode == 13 || e.browserEvent.keyCode == 10) {
// GO pressed on "firstName"
e.stopEvent();
field.element.dom.blur();
return false;
}
}
}
},
{
xtype: 'button',
text : 'Register',
listeners: {
tap: function(button) {
var form = button.parent;
if (form.isValid()) {
form.onSubmit();
}
}
}
}
]
}
});
File /view/components/FormPanel.js
Ext.define('My.view.components.FormPanel', {
extend : 'Ext.form.Panel',
onSubmit: function() {
var fieldValues = this.getValues();
// Sending fieldValues via AJAX
},
isValid: function(args) {
// Validating values
}
});

The problem was in the onSubmit() method. It is #private in sencha-touch-all-debug.js:
Ext.define('Ext.form.Panel', {
// #private
onSubmit: function(e) {
var me = this;
if (e && !me.getStandardSubmit()) {
e.stopEvent();
} else {
this.submit();
}
}
}
So it is absolutely incorrect to override onSubmit() in child classes. More correct way.
File /view/components/FormPanel.js
Ext.define('My.view.components.FormPanel', {
extend : 'Ext.form.Panel',
config: {
standardSubmit: false,
listeners: {
beforesubmit: function(form, values, options, eOpts) {
// Do something with data. Send it via AJAX, for example
return false; // returning false to prevent real form.submit();
}
}
}
}
And the button in the form should just call form.submit();.
File /view/userRegistration/FormPanel.js
{
xtype: 'button',
text : 'Register',
handler: function() {
var form = button.parent;
if (form.isValid()) {
form.submit();
}
}
}

You don't really need to override the FormPanel for that. In the controller, you can just prevent the action from field to execute and bubble up.
Ext.define('TestApp.controller.Login', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
config: {
control: {
'field': {
action: 'onFieldAction'
}
}
},
onFieldAction: function(field, e) {
// Stop event here
e.stopEvent();
e.stopPropagation();
}
});
There is a gotcha that i encountered while doing this. I've accidentally overridden the default initialize function of my FormPanel. Every thing will not work if you do this
Ext.define('TestApp.view.Login', {
extend: 'Ext.form.Panel',
xtype: 'loginform',
config: {
...
}
initialize: function(config) {
this.callParent(arguments); // Nothing will work without this line
...
}
});

Just in case someone needs to disable the Enter key on keyboard or the Go button in the softkeyboard, I found the following solution:
Ext.define('App.view.Login', {
extend: 'Ext.form.Panel',
xtype: 'login',
config: {
....
},
getElementConfig: function() {
var config = this.callParent();
config.children.pop();
return config;
}
});

document.addEventListener("keypress", onGoKeyDown, false);
function onGoKeyDown(e) {
console.log(e);
if(e.srcElement.localName == 'input') {
if (e.keyCode === 13 || e.keyCode === 10) {
e.preventDefault();
}
}
}

I don't know if anyone is still looking for a solution, but I came up with a very simple trick - trap the input and prevent the form submission even if the user hits 'Go' or any button/key other than the one you want. To do that just place a listener in every entry field and listen for the 'blur' event. This will trap any action when leaving the field (blur). Inside the blur listener event do a focus() on the next field (like tabbing through the form, i.e. if you are in field 1 send the focus to 2 and so on) until you arrive at your desired submit or register button. Once there, you can do your processing, submit, etc. This worked for me!

Now, if we want to call Ajax method on submit by either clicking Submit button or by enter action then,
submitOnAction : true in the FormPanel config
Add this.callParent(arguments)in initialize method in case we are overriding initialize method of FormPanel
Override submit method of FormPanel to add Ajax Call
Listen to tap event of Submit button to add Ajax Call
