BackHandler is not working in react-native side-menu when using react-native router-flux










9















I am working on react-native to develop a sample application. Here I got an issue when I was using backHandler in the react-native side-menu component.



Actually, the side menu contains more pages! But when clicking the Android back button in the side menu pages, only once the back handler works. Here I am using react-native router-flux.



Here the back button action is called only once!



This is my code:



componentDidMount() 
BackHandler.addEventListener('hardwareBackPress', this.handleBackPress);


componentWillUnmount()
BackHandler.removeEventListener('hardwareBackPress', this.handleBackPress);


handleBackPress = () =>
let isGoback = this.props.isGoback
//alert("Hi " + isGoback)

if(isGoback === "Contact Us")
//alert("Hi: " + isGoback)
Actions.BasicSideMenuMain(selectedItem:'Home');
//Actions.replace('BasicSideMenuMain')

  • What do you mean by "once the back handler function calls here main screen is Home"? Can you fix it (by editing your question, not by responding here in comments)?

I had the same issue this is how I solved it:
As you are using router-flux you can use Actions.currentScene to find which page you are on



handleBackPress = () => 
if(Actions.currentScene === 'mainPage') // 'mainPage' is kay of your scene
BackHandler.exitApp(); // or anything you want
return false;

Actions.pop(); // for all the pages beside mainPage in side menu always go back
return true;



Hope it works.
