Disable back-button on modals

[LeleDev]

I'm using $ionicModal to show a sign in page

This should trap the user in the modal itself, but the back button allow him to "escape" easily from that view. Could you please add a modal property to prevent the modal from being hidden when the user hits the back button on android?

Thank you in advance!

Good idea.

Great, thank you!

Just a question: is it an intended behaviour that hardwareBackButtonClose: false now makes the app close on button press instead of doing nothing? (I ask even if in my case it's exactly what I need ;) )

[ajoslin]

Hmm, you are right, it should actually do nothing instead of causing whatever is under the modal to go back.

[ajoslin]

Fixed. Thanks for testing!

There seems to be another issue... the backbutton keeps being disabled also after that the modal has been hidden!

Like @LeleDev said, sometimes the back button stays disabled for the whole application even if the modal was hiden ! (not 100% of the time I cannot find a way to reproduce reliably but it does happen!)
