I’m completely new to iphone apps. I’m creating an iphone app that is designed in HTML and jquery with phonegap. I want to include a back button on the top like the default one in the iphone. I searched on net but all i found, required view controllers.I don’t have multiple views so how can i include a back button on my app. Step by step explanation would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance..:)
Why would you include a “back” button if you don’t have multiple views? What exactly will you navigate “back” to?
“The net” is correct, you need a
UINavigationControllerto house a “back” button which would pop a view to the previous view.Other than a UINavigationController, you could use a UIToolbar and set a button to the left hand corner and give it the title of “Back” to simulate the native appearance — but this would be misleading and pointless.
I don’t use PhoneGap, but I am sure there is a way to simulate a NavigationController and manually place a button there. I’m also sure it won’t be shaped like a back button either (with the pointy end).
