Overriding android back button sometimes it takes long time to find the solution. Here is a simple one which works.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
BackHandler,
WebView,
} from 'react-native';
export default class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.WEBVIEW_REF = React.createRef();
}
componentDidMount() {
BackHandler.addEventListener('hardwareBackPress', this.handleBackButton);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
BackHandler.removeEventListener('hardwareBackPress', this.handleBackButton);
}
handleBackButton = ()=>{
this.WEBVIEW_REF.current.goBack();
return true;
}
onNavigationStateChange(navState) {
this.setState({
canGoBack: navState.canGoBack
});
}
render(){
return (
<WebView
source={{ uri: "http://www.helpinterview.com" }}
ref={this.WEBVIEW_REF}
onNavigationStateChange={this.onNavigationStateChange.bind(this)}
/>
)
}
}
