how to exit app, when hardware back button is clicked? how to solve this issue using – $ionicHistory
this since 1.0.1 the default behavior on android, when the history stack is empty.
in other cases you need to overwrite backbutton function:
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (evt) {
// prevent default backbutton action
evt.preventDefault();
ionic.Platform.exitApp(); // stops the app
}, 100);
