Hardware back button does not close the gallery photo viewer

[jjexperto]

Hello,
I installed your component and it is working great, but i have one problem, the hardware back button does not close the Photo viewer. Do you have the solution for this or did i missed one step in the installation guide.
Greetings

Hi, you didn't miss anything. If the hardware back button is not working, it's related to a missing implementation.
I'm going to implement this in two weeks. If you can't wait for it you may try to do it on your own. It requires to add an event listener on ngInit and removing the listener on ngDestroy. A listener like this is required: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18997793/javascript-backbutton-event-listener-overrides-the-android-device-back-button closing mfp on listener call

Solving this issue isn't as easy as I thought. I'm still working on it.

I've managed to create a solution. I'd appreciate if you could run

npm install heilbaum-ionic-photoswipe@beta

and leave some feedback if everything is working as expected or if not.
