I need to call the back button command at some point in my application

  • 0

I need to call the back button command at some point in my application programmatically, so what is the command for that.
The issue is that i need the application to exit when the user presses back from the second page, hence i need to call the back button command when navigated on to the first page to exit.
I searched online and found out that there is no systematic way to exit an application in code so any suggestion?
Thanks,

    Call NavigationService.RemoveBackEntry(); in OnNavigatedTo of the second page. This will remove the first page from the navigation stack and if the user presses the back key the application will exit.

    Warning: Call remove only once! (multitasking calls OnNavigatedTo multiple times)

    private bool removed = false;
public override void OnNavigatedTo(...)
{
    if (!removed) 
    {
        removed = true; 
        NavigationService.RemoveBackEntry();
    }
