In my Xaml Page I've got a Frame.
I'm trying to have a backButton event to just navigate inside frame .
so I tried to use this piece of code
public MainPage(){
this.InitializeComponent();
if(Windows.Foundation.Metadata.ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons")) {
Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
}
}
private void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender,BackPressedEventArgs e) {
if(insideFrame.CanGoBack())insideFrame.GoBack();
else Application.Current.Exit();
}
but In phone after doing HardwareButtons_BackPressed event it close the application.
It seems to running some default back button behavior on MainPage...
How can I fix it? And In Windows10 does they add new events to handle back navigation?
[Update]
Now I found out it's better to Use SystemNavigationManager in Windows 10 instead of Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed.
SystemNavigationManager currentView = SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView();
Windows 10 (UWP) include SystemNavigationManager in Windows.UI.Core namespace for Navigation purpose only.
Because SystemNavigationManager is part of Windows Universal Platform, So, it's supported by all device family running on Windows 10 including Mobile and PC.
If you just want to handle navigation for single page. Follow the following steps
Step 1. Use namespace Windows.UI.Core
using Windows.UI.Core;
Step 2. Register back request event for current view. Best place for this is main constructor of class after InitializeComponent().
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
//register back request event for current view
SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested += MainPage_BackRequested;
}
Step 3. Handle BackRequested event
private void Food_BackRequested(object sender, BackRequestedEventArgs e)
{
if (Frame.CanGoBack)
{
Frame.GoBack();
e.Handled = true;
}
}
rootFrameBest place for handling all backbutton for all Views is App.xaml.cs
Step 1. Use namespace Windows.UI.Core
using Windows.UI.Core;
Step 2. Register back request event for current view. Best place for this is OnLaunched just before Window.Current.Activate
protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
{
...
SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested += OnBackRequested;
Window.Current.Activate();
}
Step 3. Handle BackRequested event
private void OnBackRequested(object sender, BackRequestedEventArgs e)
{
Frame rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
if (rootFrame.CanGoBack)
{
rootFrame.GoBack();
e.Handled = true;
}
}

Hope this is helpful to someone!
You need to tell the system that you handled the backbutton press by setting the Handled property of the BackPressedEventArgs to true.
private void OnHardwareButtonsBackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
{
// This is the missing line!
e.Handled = true;
// Close the App if you are on the startpage
if (mMainFrame.CurrentSourcePageType == typeof(Startpage))
App.Current.Exit();
// Navigate back
if (mMainFrame.CanGoBack)
{
mMainFrame.GoBack();
}
}
Try this.It will work for frame back navigation.
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
}
void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
{
Frame rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
if (Frame.CanGoBack)
{
e.Handled = true;
Frame.GoBack();
}
}
}
