hi, guys
I am launching a channel from another channel.it’s work fine.
but whenever press back button on the recently launched channel,**(with expectation)**it should go to the previous channel.

thanks in advance.

yeah, you can’t do that.

You might be able to use Deeplinking special field to set an argument in the launch url

https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Deep+Linking

http**://:8060/launch/****?special=<**channel to return to ID>

You could check if this is present and then set conditional if present on back button launch previous channel.
function main(args={})

If back_button_pressed and args.special<>invalid then launchChannel(args.special)
end function

Though Certification asks you to return to “Roku Home menu” if back button is pressed on top level screen. Maybe a “Dialog box” asking if user wants to return home or to previous channel

that solution seems great though I’m nearly certain that certification doesn’t allow launching a different channel.
