I think this is an undefined behaviour. Tori, please help to confirm the expected result here, thanks.

@Jack
This is about network offline case. Could you define the expected result?

Dear Oscartsai,

I think I have defined this behaviour. Please see the spec. as the link below (BTW, I have added more explanation in the spec.),

I totally agree your suggestion. 
[Expected result]
10. It should close the app and return to Apps page.

The logic should be "Back to the place where the user triggered the app"

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
Jack

Dan and Luke, I remember we do window.close() on the network error screen when the user click 'Close' button? If so, back to Smart Home is an expected behavior?

Comment 7

[Dan Huang[:danhuang]]

We call window.close() when click close button.

Yes, it's by design. Killing any app launching from Apps should always lead users to the landing app (which is Smart Home in our build). 

As far as I know, the system app is not able to distinguish whether an app is killed by itself or by the error pages. That is, changing this behavior will affect not only error pages but also the whole system. I would suggest not doing this for now.


Hi Jack, what do you think?

[Evelyn Hung]

We won't take any risky change at this stage, so it's not a blocker.

Luke, I remember we have a system-wise back button bug, could you dup this one to that one? Thanks.

Comment 10

[Mike Lien[:mlien]]

This issue is not related to back button behaviour. It's due to the returned original page. Current behaviour is back to Home instead of app deck while closing the offline dialogue even this app is launched from app deck.

Comment 11

[Luke Chang [:lchang] (inactive)]

Yes, we have bug 1225748 of the back button. However, I agree with Mike that these two bugs are a bit different.

This bug is more like to discuss which app needs to be shown next when a foreground app has been killed, no matter who kills it. So I suggest making bug 1225748 focus on closing apps by the back button and using this bug to discuss what's the next step after apps are closed.
