Question about the Swipe Back event and re-loading a view.

[DanMacLeod]

I have a view that needs to have some values updated after the view gets re-loaded after a Swipe Back event. When the page is re-loaded its 'start' or 'upload' functions are never called so I can't update any values. When a view is re-loaded via the Swipe Back event, is there a way to force a function call? Or is there something like a 'onReload' event that I can attach an EventListener to?

You should be able to capture the beforeunload event, then call your other functions.

Hi, @DanMacLeod -  Did you master this? After the beforeunload is triggered and preventdefault issued the screen blanks. Is there a way just to ignore the Swipe back and continue without the need for animate?

In other words can you carry on as if the swipe back has not been performed without reloading the app.

I'm trying to stay on the same display/view rather than unloading the App when a swipe to the right is performed - is this possible?
