Hello Folks,

I am facing one weird issue with my ionic android application. When I press mobile phone hardware back button it is reloading/refreshing whole application instead of going back.  
I have tried to use _`event.stopPropogation()`_ and also _`this.nav.pop()`_ but nothing works.  
So kindly help me out.

Thanks & Regards,
