I’m building a phonegap application for my blackberry. When I have the application open and I press the back button, the application terminates entirely, instead of just being “minimized” and allowed to sit in memory. So next time I click on the application, I have to login instead of seeing the last page I was on.
Is there a way to cause the blackberry back button to “minimize” instead of complete termination?
For BlackBerry Java applications the ‘Hang Up’ button is the standard UI request to minimize the application. Try that first. You should only override the function of the back button to minimize instead of exit if the application cannot or should not cleanly exit.
One of the most annoying behaviors for applications is if they don’t exit when requested.
