Tell me you haven't used a back button without telling me.
To TLDR you pretend the back button on android is the back button on your mouse, because it is. Does it seem useful yet?
Back button on a mouse? I use a Trackpad. If I wanted to spend all day slowly navigating the UI click by click I might go back to a mouse.
And by the way, the reason I know it takes you back to an entirely different app than the one you’re using is because I’ve used it before. 😒
It takes you back to the previous view in the stack. Unless the current app was launched from a different app, there will be no other app in the view stack to go back to.
TL;DR: You're full of shit, and anyone familiar with how Android handles view state under the hood knows it.
Right, why would you need a physical hardware button to go back to the last app? It’s treating the entire OS like a single tab in a web browser.
TL;DR: You have no reading comprehension. Also, why do you need to summarize your comments? It wasn’t even long.
