Hi everyone i am new to ionic framework.
I am facing a problem regarding ionic-2 app tabs, I have 3 tabs on my app view one is discovery and others are people and messages … The problem i am having that when i am on message and people tabs and from my phone back button press i just simply exit from my app …
what i want is when i go to my home page which is discovery page and from there if i press back then i exit the app … Any one has any idea about this plz let me know i will be thankful to you …

This happens because tabs is considered a single instance of “page”, and just press one time on this button to exit app. Read the ‘how to’ below:

search for “setRoot” in google and you’ll get what you want. (With postfix ionic 2).

Thats actually pretty simple you have to go into your app.module and add this line of code to the imports.

imports: [
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {
      navExitApp: false,
    }),
  ],

In that case your Hardware Backbutton can still pop pages and such but won’t close your app!
