Thank you all for your code samples and suggestions. I have now implemented my own back button routing in my app.
@imesky, try using native dialog with ngCordova.
E.g.
angular.module('myApp.UI', [])
.factory('UI', ['$cordovaToast', '$cordovaDialogs',
function ($cordovaToast, $cordovaDialogs) {
var self = this;
self.toast = function (message, duration, position) {
var msg, dur, pos;
msg = message || '';
dur = duration || 'short';
pos = position || 'bottom';
return $cordovaToast.show(msg, dur, pos);
};
self.alert = function (title, msg) {
return $cordovaDialogs.alert(msg, title, 'OK');
};
self.confirm = function (title, msg) {
return $cordovaDialogs.confirm(msg, title, ['Yes', 'No']);
};
return self;
}
]);
