I am using Nativescript with Angular on Android. I have read that the application closes if I press the back button when the navigation stack is empty. However, I have done some experiments and what I see is that the application goes to background (ngOnDestroy is not called), but there doesn’t seem to be any way for me to resume it. If I click on the app icon, a new instance of the application is launched. I don’t want multiple instances of my application. Is it possible to configure the back button to just “minimize” the application (like when I press the home button)? Or, how can I resume the one that is running on the background?
Btw, I have also tried with:
android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
but the back button still “half-closes” my application.
Is this the expected behavior? a bug? a matter of configuration?
Any help is appreciated. Let me know if I should include a sample code.
Thanks!
