Backbutton Event Listener Android Crash

Hi,

I'm using JQM. I'm trying to trap the android "back" button.

            document.addEventListener("backbutton", function(e){
                e.preventDefault();
                ipback(); // sends back to home page of app
                return false;
            }, false);

The code above seems to work fine when I build an APK file / install / run.

But, running from the App Preview, it works once, then crashes on the second time with:

!Sorry The application App Preview (process com.intel.html5tools.apppreview) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close (button).

Is this a bug in the app preview, or is there a better way to code this?

Thanks in advance, Rich

My guess is that it is a bug

My guess is that it is a bug in App Preview, because you are competing with App Preview for that feature... I'll alert the responsible engineer.
