Android Development, Back button function

Image
By User



just want to ask on how to call the Back button of an android phone to go back to previous screen or transaction? because as I hit on the back button of the device the application totally closes. I am building the application through eclipse with PhoneGap.





Could you guys give me an example code or function on how to call the back button to go to previous page?





Thank you guys for your big help.

    If there is nothing to go back to (ie. if the current Activity is the only one in the Stack), the app will close (that is the way Android is designed to work).

    You can call finish() in your Java code (not sure about PhoneGap) to automatically go to the previous Activity.

    Good Luck. (Don't forget to mark correct)

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

By User
I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top.

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

By User
The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.
