Question

I’m making an app in which I open a BrowserField and the user can navigate further to links present in the web page. The problem is that when I press the physical back button, the previous screen is presented while I want to present the previous page in the BrowserField itself. How to do that? Is that even possible?

Thanks.

You need to use BrowserFieldHistory to go back to previous pages using the canGoBack() and goBack() methods. Just over-ride the keyChar method to control the ESCAPE key input and put your own logic like so:

public boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) {
  if ( key == Characters.ESCAPE) {
    if(yourBrowserField.getHistory().canGoBack()){
      yourBrowserField.getHistory().goBack();
    }else{
      UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(this);
      return true;
    }
   }
}
