I am using the below code in my view. I am expecting to see Back button but I am not seeing it my actual device or even in any simulators.

Kindly let me know what I am missing.

```
<ion-view view-title="Upload">
    <ion-nav-bar class="bar-stable" align-title="center">

        <ion-nav-back-button>
        </ion-nav-back-button>

    </ion-nav-bar>

    <ion-content class="padding">
    </ion-content>
</ion-view>
```

`ion-nav-bar` and `ion-nav-back-button` are not children of ion-view.

Take a look at the tabs example
