Problem/Query: How do I add to the back button click on android devices in HCL Volt Iris 9.5.58 on init of a form to hide my form? I have a screen that does a drop down look up on a separate page from the form. There is an existing x button on the form that hides the screen and returns to the page. Users are clicking on the back button and it does nothing until they click it a second time then it backs them out of the page losing there progress.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for posting in our community. In order to provide the best service to you, I would like to gather further information from you. Are you able to provide a screenshot of the form in question so that we can better understand your requirement?

Also, can you please confirm if this issue has always occurred with your app, or if the problem only recently started? Is this a new app in development that never worked correctly?

Please note any recent changes you have made in the app if this problem recently started.

Thank you!

Hi Brian, for using the hardware back button in an Android app, the onDeviceBack action is exposed in the Android Form properties for any desired custom logic. This event will fire when the user taps on the hardware back button on the device. This event can be found by selecting the form in the designer, head to the Properties / Action tab, scroll down to the Android section, it is located in between the onDeviceMenu and onOrientationChange events.
