Question

I am using jQuery Mobile 1.1.1 and Apache Cordova 2.0.0. I want my app to exit when I press back button but only if current page have ID = feedZive. I am using following code to do it:

function onDeviceReady(){
    document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, false);
    function onBackKeyDown(){
        if ($.mobile.activePage.is("#feedZive")){
            navigator.app.exitApp();
        }
        else{
            navigator.app.backHistory();
        }

    }
};

However it looks like I can’t get the current page because I have tried the following code:

var activePage = $.mobile.activePage;
alert(activePage);

and my alert is showing undefined. I have also tried to change $.mobile.activePage to $.mobile.activePage.attr("id") but it didn’t work.

Answer 1

$(document).live('pagebeforeshow', function() {
    alert($.mobile.activePage.attr('id'));
});​
